Finney Creek

Finney creek is weirdly almost roadside whitewater that runs through a steep walled canyon that is almost invisible from the road. Both the put in and take out are on Finney Creek Rd. The take out is just above a double drop in a near vertically walled box canyon. This is locally named Devils Den falls or something similar. There are other falls on the run that might share this name. Not sure if it has been successfully boated below the bottom FS 2 bridge but the safest and most logical takeout is just upstream of the bridge above the falls/gorge. The upstream put in is at a low bridge/ford on Finney Creek just past FS 20. Multiple other access points are available but this is the easiest to reach from the road. Finney Creek has numerous short micro gorges with a range of whitewater that range from waterfalls landing on rocks to class 3 so scouting your run is essential if you are not a solid class IV+ to V boater. The road in on river left almost the whole length of the run so hiking off is possible but often difficult. There are several hard to run or probably unrunnable drops in various places so don't go past the point of no return on any blind corner.

After Devils Den the river looks like it is just a meandering low elevation stream.
