Trip Report

ReporterRobert Miller

I ran Crabtree on Monday May 15, 2006 and the Savage was running between 1000 and 1100 cfs in Barton. Crabtree should have been raging but it was at a nice level. The upper part was pretty scrapy. As more tribs dumped in, eventually the creek changed to a great level. I ran the lower stretch along the road once at 500 cfs but I doubt you could go any higher upstream at that level.

What a great creek! I ran it for the first time 10 years ago and always love going back!
