Not a lot of information on this micro creek. Based on an old guidebook it appears to be a tight & technical roadside run. Is said to have 4 main drops that can be scouted from the road with lines that are 'pretty obvious'. One source says that nearby Gragg Prong has to be medium to high levels to get this going. Wilson Creek gauge probably has to be +13 at least (high medium to high). This is certainly a Class IV+ run as the drops are decent in size. Can scout most of the drops from the road.
Enough space for 1-2 cars. Can climb down the bank & put in under the bridge.
The river will take a hard left turn over a rapid. Immediatly below this the river turns into a very narrow chute just wide enough for a boat before a long bedrock slide. Can see the majority of it from the road above.
The next major rapid is just after this.
The river will push you to the right towards two slots. The one one the left lands on a slanted rock which would pin you. The right slot is a hard left turn before a slide into a pool.
Manky boulder choked slot entrance into a 20ft slide.
Found a can of Grizzly down here so thats what I am calling it.
All the water flows into a small chute with the left side looking like a sieve.
Kinda looks like a much much smaller version of Jedi Training on the Raven Fork. Lines on both the left & right.
No major rapids are after this one. The rest of the run the biggest hazard will be landslides & debris from Hurricane Helene, expect a portage or two.
Take out & reset shuttle for another lap or check out other creeks/rivers that will definitly be running.
