Pescadero Creek

Rudy and I hiked down the ridge trail to Jones Gulch, and floated through Memorial Park through the slightly more challenging rapids below. We encountered one river wide strainer, and plenty of wood hazards. Beautuful place, worth visiting, and the short pleasant hike added to the experience (for packrafters)

My bro and I ran Pescadero on 2-21-05 we had about 330 cfs. It seemed perfect. We had 4 or 5 log jams but no portage took more than 5 minutes. we could paddle up to some of them with ease. I would not run this creek too much higher because the logjams would be harder to negotiate. beatiful scenery fun little rapids easy put in and take out just like Bill says. took us just over 2 hours to paddle about 6 miles.
