River Description
Usually done as a hike up run, but there is an option to hike into the headwaters from a road on top of the ridge.
AS you hike up from the Goforth creek parking area use the path on the left. Once just above the mank and sieve garden there is a fun stretch of Gnar that goes with just a little or a lot of rain.
