Trip Report
| Reporter | Robert S. Farmer |
It's worth noting that the drop called Pillow (above) forms a very powerful hydraulic at higher levels that most people seem to underestimate. A person could easily drown here, so be careful--it is very sticky at high levels.
Also, the last rapid down by the Gunpowder has a very serious hole, too. Failure to ace the rapids above it could also have fatal consequences. Once, when I had to lie flat on my boat to get under the first concrete bridge above the first drop, I carried the entire final section of rapids with no regrets. Yes, this creek does sometimes get too high! Be careful!
