River Description
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.

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!'
