Second Creek

2.0 on the staff gauge upstream of the 219 bridge is probably minimum- lower can be done with a little scraping. Expect braiding/logjams just after the put-in. Afterward the creek goes through a property that has channelized the stream for fishing, and there are a half dozen man-made 3-foot drops here that could get sticky at certain levels. Then look for a cascade coming in on the right and the (natural) ledges begin. They are all fairly small, and at higher levels may not be noticeable as ledges. The first bridge you come to is a short steep takeout with tight parking, but is probably preferable to continuing to 219.

Kind of rapids you can expect on 2nd

Very few long pools on this stretch, mostly class 2, with a couple of 3's thrown in

Lots on cliff bands on this stretch

2nd creek revisited. This little creek was described as being a magnet for strainers in a previous post. I ran it on Thanksgiving, 2013, an only had to portage around 1 strainer. It has a lot going for it, pretty scenery, isolated feeling, and virtually no flat water. Seems to take a lot of water for it to go, but would definitely recommend it. Intermediates will enjoy the maneuvering in the many class 2 rapids, and there are a couple of 3's thrown in to spice things up

4 foot boof on 2nd creek

4 foot drop about halfway down
