Murder Creek

just an update on that road he mentioned, it is now labled the 'FRED WOOLEN' road and they have laid down some nice thick gravel so no more puddles. How ever the gravel they choice is about the size of half a baseball. Still might need that 4wd. So far i have yet to go down there where the gate at the top has been unlocked and I am still waiting on a response from the USFS about when they will open it. It's about a mile from the gate to the rapid. The nice thing about this little area at the end with the final rapid is that it's also spotted with some decent bouldering on river left. So if you want to change it up a little.. bring some rock shoes and chalk.

There is also a trail along the river left side that goes underneath/in front of the boulders, it is possible to portage back up along this trail if you want to run mutltiple times, but due to the size of the rapid, it's hardly worth it.

Happy Paddling!
