River Description
Double Branch is a real 'backyard' flood creek. This little stream makes a mad dash over some ledges and rocks as it plunges from Hwy.178 to Hwy.88. The creek could be run with one car if you don't mind walking a one mile shuttle or just parking at the bottom and walking up to the top of the run.

The white arrows show the high water mark from the previous week. Double Branch comes up and goes down very quickly.
