River Description

Lake Creek is normally dewatered by the dam and diversion tunnel of the Lake Creek hydroelectric project, however flows suitable for paddling do occu during spring run off. Immediately below the dam, the creek enters a vertical walled canyon with two large potentially unrunnable waterfalls seperated by class III/IV whitewater. It is a short and spectacular section of river, and if runnable at all is only suitable for experts.

This beautiful series of drops ends in a 90 degree turn that may or may not make the whole thing unrunnable...
This is the 90 degree turn that ends the big entry drop.
