5/28/2010 Ran the creek from high germany rd down to an access road across from riser road. Water level at the gauge at high germany was 5.7 ft with ~1500cfs. Water was to high and swift for my skill level and would not attempt again.

On our trip(12-15-02)the bellegrove gauge was at 3.3,putting 675c.f.s. in this small creek.The rapids become 2+ and a long cold swim could be very dangerous to the inexperienced paddler!

Bill enjoys one of the many side waterfalls.
Why is there a Kayak aimlessly floating around?
The next three pictures are on the Rt. 40 to Norris road section,so far my favorite on this creek
At 3.3 this little creek has 675 c.f.s. and takes on a class 2+ characteristic
At 675 c.f.s. this creek has nice waves,small holes and no rocks to dodge
