Log in to add a reportThe put-in shown in the maps on the Map and Directions tabs is not the normal put-in -- it is the alternative put-in on the Little Woodhull. Likewise, the Map and Directions tabs for the middle section of Woodhull Creek (http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River/view/river-detail/5063/) show the wrong put-in and takeout for that section -- both are shown as being on the Little Woodhull instead of the main Woodhull. Read the verbal descriptions on the RiverMain tabs of both sections for the correct put-ins.
I actually got turned around and ran the rest of this backwards
Ran Jacobs Ladder and scrapy Slide on right. Virginia's was dull so we ran the center ABIW. Mashed Potatoes was retentive but 11 of us ran it on the right no problem.
run is mostly clean of hazards as of spring run off 2010
04-Apr-09 We ran the Little Woodhull into the Woodhull (starting at the dam on Kincaid Road). The bridge at the Woodhull takeout was showing 5.5 blocks on the center pillar and the Black gauge was 8.9 feet. I estimate the level of the Little Woodhull as Class 4, and the Woodhull as Class 4. None of us ran Virginia's as it looks very retentive. One of our class 5 boaters ran the center power slide next to Virginia's (the rest of us 'clucked'.)
03-Apr-09 We ran the Little Woodhull into the Woodhull (starting at the dam on Kincaid Road). The bridge at the Woodhull takeout was showing 7.0 blocks on the center pillar and the Black gauge was 7.0 feet. I estimate the level of the Little Woodhull as Class 3, and the Woodhull as Class 3. We all ran Virginia's no problem.
