Based on info from Chuck Kirk.
Small, extremely fast creek with numerous holes and waves.

We did this in early March 2002. There is nothing class 4 about this. There's hardly anything class 3 about it. Maybe at VERY high levels it may push to a class 3 creek but when we did it, it was mostly some class 2 ledges and 1 drop that may turn into a class 3 at high flows. It would be a fun run for an intro to creeking but your time would be better spent on Anewakkee Creek.

Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportA section of pavement made its way onto the river bank at the putin.
This rapid was toward the confluence with Dog River. Even at 1400, there wasn't enough water to make it down the rapids without major scrapage, but the potential for a fun time would be there around 3000-4000cfs.
We did this run at 1400 cfs on Nov 26, 2014... There is room enough to park one truck at the putin behind the guardrail. At this level, the river is really low. We could still make our way down each rapid, but there was a lot of pushing off rocks instead of paddling. There were 5 or 6 rock garden rapids that could be a lot of fun at about 3000+ cfs.
Also, there was a tree down across the entire river about halfway down the run... luckily, it was in flat water and we could get under it, but any higher and we would have had to portage.
Felt and looked a lot like Snake Creek without the big drops.
