Eastatoe Creek -2, Lower Gorge

Parking at the fishermen's access at the second power line going north on Granny Gear Rd. beats the heck out of paddling the first .8 or so of tree infested flat water (in Jan. of 06 I had to portage about 6 trees before the gorge). Its around a .4 mi hike in from the road. In Feb of 07 I portaged 1 tree in the gorge, which was passable if you were really determined.

Notice the kayaer on river right.

Make a late right turn in to the first eddie, theres a rock just underwater that blocks the entrance, ferry in front of the minor sieve, get some speed going down the first drop, thread the needle between the rake of branches on right and the ugly undercut on left on the second drop, get a lil' more speed for the last sticky hole and your done with a Kayak Killer. A good medium low lvl. I would say.
