Spring Creek

A big 30-40 footer with a ledge halfway down. It has been ran, but rarely. Water must be high, or you have to not mind taking the hit. Walk up the road at the putin, around the gate, down the driveway, take the trail off to your left, and down the metal staircase to putin below it.

This is about a 4 foot ledge, or a shoal depending on where you run it. The standard line is on the river right, when the pool is the deepest. Anywhere on the right one third of the river is fine. Make a quick ferry around the island in front of you. The left shoal is runnable also, but not as fun.

This ledge is also run in the far river right. It has a rough lead in slide, then about a 5 foot ledge. The hole will work you at high levels. There is a sneak at high water around on the left, also portage on the left.

This is a fluffy shallow pile. It is hard to stay in at high water, and fun at low water. The best play is on the river left. If you wash out there is a another hole just below you.

This hole is a much better play spot. Also shallow except at really big water. Nothin but flat spins at normal levels, with the best play on the right. At high water the right side gets trashy, but the entire rest of this river wide hole is nice. Flat spins adn blast wheels at big water. The occasional low angle blunt in the middle of the meat at really big water.

This is a big riverwide slide. It is a pretty low angle, so not too fast. The slide tends to push left, and you want to eddy out on the right at the bottom, so keep working you way right. At low water it is hard to work right, but there is plenty of time to hit the eddy at the bottom.

This is the most difficult rapid on the river. It is a difficult Class III at low water, and a pushy Class IV+ at higher levels. There is a river wide horseshoe shaped ledge across the left 3/4 of the river. Run the chute on the right, and after you drop in, start working left along the base of the ledge. There is a big hole on the river right at the bottom, you will have to break through the diagonal that feeds it. The hole is pretty meaty at big levels, but fun play at lower water. The ledge was originally called Big Daddy I believe, but we have always called it horseshoe, so now we have named the ledge Big Daddy, and the play hole Horseshoe.

This water fall comes in from the river left. There are several waves leading up to it. The waterfall is not on the river, just flowing in.

There is a great rock splat/wheel rock on the river right just after the falls. Hit it on the fly.

The river is divided by a rock in the middle of the river, run between the rock and the river right bank. The hole looks like a good hole for enders or cartwheels but is unfortunatly too shallow, with a rock in the back of it.

There are several wavetrains and surf wave on the way out of the gorge. Nothing too big, but enough to stay entertained.

The takeout is at the boat ramp on the left just after the foot bridge. You will pass under a falling down old foot bridge, then a concrete bridge that is also in disrepair, and then a good bridge. This is private property, so be respectful.
