Sandstone Creek

Four miles south of Rockland, MI, 10 miles north of Bruce Crossing, along US Hwy 45 just south of the Military Bridge over the Ontanagon.

This run is essentially a 'roadside ditch' (for the length of the reach you may be interested in boating). This will have a very short window of opportunity, boatable one day, not the next. If you are only getting here on a weekend, you may have just missed it, a day too early or a day too late. But . . . if you happen to be there on the right day, you're in for a real treat!

A scout for wood is mandatory. Action builds to the last 0.2 mile where the creek drops 60' (giving an 'effective gradient' near 300 FPM for that stretch), tripping down a sequence of slides and ledges in the sandstone bedrock.
