Trip Report

ReporterJeff Macklin

When putting on at Sugar Creek, this is the last ledge before the confluence with the Back Fork of Elk River.
This is a ledge about 70 ft before the only bridge in this section of river. It has low water pinning potential toward river left.
There were half a dozen or so ledges/falls on the Back Fork. This was one of the legdes toward the middle of the run. The river left line looks like it might be fun,, if you stay away from the overhanging rock ledge to Rick's left. A whole lot of water flows under it.
