Clear Creek

Be very careful if you do happen to run the creek. My group ran yesterday and the main line at Timber Falls (first big rapid) is completely blocked by a few trees; an alternative is the single drop on river left which is runnable at a low level. Also, at Finale, there is a huge felled tree immediately after the rapid. The rapid is runnable but you'll have to portage around the tree.

1/1/11 The right line at Timber Falls is clear. This could change as Clear Creek Flashed today, but when we ran it all rapids were clear of logs.

I ran this on February 6, 2010 and the right side of Timber Falls (the first drop) is blocked by more than one log. I would not consider running it on that side. The left side was clear. Make sure you run to the left of the island with the propane tank sitting on top of it. The approach may deceiving to first timers. There is a channel that cuts across from right to left above the island.

The log in the right line at Timber falls has shifted down. It is still in the way but might be able to be skirted at the right water level. The rest of the trees on this run are out of the way except for one that you can easily paddle under. It is a before you get to Timber falls.
