Remediation Rips
Description
'Remediation' of the next 0.8 mile of Underwood Creek has removed the former cement channel, replacing it with granite boulders of varying sizes (to minimize erosion of this flashy creek).
For boaters, this area will be rock-dodging/rock-bashing at flows of under 250 cfs. At higher flows, anyone unfamiliar with whitewater paddling is likely to think this looks wild and possibly even scary. It is scary (and potentially quite dangerous!) for anyone who may end up capsized or out of their boat! Major rock impacts and possible foot entrapments abound here!
DO NOT TRY TO STAND IN ANY SWIFT MOVING WATER MORE THAN KNEE DEEP!
Competent whitewater paddlers will now find little more than a featureless flush followed by swiftwater (flowing between rocks at low water, or over them at moderate-to-high water).
