Moose Creek

Lets clear some of the wood out of this river! I hiked it from the takeout a few days ago. Clearing wood seems very manageable with a rope and saw. There are about 7 logs in the last 2 miles of the run. I will post on Alaska Packraft FB page as well. Post on the FB page if you are heading up there so that others know you are working in the area. Our group cleared one log near the parking lot.

Ran the stream today; one kayaker one pack rafter. Very bony and approxiametly 10 places that needed to be portaged due to river wide trees. Needs to be cleaned up and lots of water for an enjoyable run. A notch run, would not do it again. Very pretty canyon. Lots of salmon.

This creek is below my house...so neat to hear it described in such detail! :) Several phases of re-routing have been done. The falls are no longer there. The major flooding that happened in late summer of 2006 did some damage to the creek and did some re-routing of it's own.

Construction is beginning on the re-routing of the creek around the falls. The engineer in charge is an Alaskan whitewater kayaker, and is very aware that Moose Creek is a good resource. Keep your head up for machinery and debris in the channel below the bridge and above the ledge drop.
