River Description
This creek looks like it has sufficient drainage area to be runnable under the right conditions (much rain). I have not done any exploratories to confirm feasibility.

Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportJordan Poffenberger and I just ran this yesterday (3/13/10) after seeing it next to the road on our way to Adrenaline Alley, and fired up all the drops except a 25+ footer which landed in 4 feet of water. It is definitely good to go with a little bit more flow than we had, but had a frustrating rock in the middle of the narrow (maybe 4 foot wide) river left streamer, which made the mandatory 45 degree must make boof more risky than it was worth as a novelty run for us. Next rainfall we will be back for sure to finish what we started. Anyone know if there has been a descent since the outdated stream description?

looking at the 15, which is a narrow, rocky slot into a late boof to the right to avoid a large exposed rock on the left. be careful getting out, because the pool is pretty walled in here, and the next little restriction had some strainers which made it difficult to paddle through to a cleaner take out.
a cool easy boof on the right, but watch out there was sheet metal on the left side of the landing
the pool here is deep enough, but boofing the crap out of it is just too hard to resist ;)
the last drop before the 25 footer.
