Mud Creek starts out with a serious class III+ rapid. The big boat stopping holes and sharp rocks make scouting a good suggestion. After the first big drops the creek slows down and alternates between fast moving water and slides. Watch out for trees.
This first rapid throws everything at you from big holes to sharp poorly placed rocks.

The first rapid, 50 yards from put in.
This is the first set of ledges, Mud Slide is in the background.

Greg Simpson named this 'Finally' because after Mud Slide it's a long time (at least a mile, maybe 1.5) on flat water with strainers (some require portage) before you get to this and when he saw this... he said 'finally!'
