About This Access Site
Slippery View River Access is a whitewater take-out point on Clear Creek in Siskiyou County, California. This site serves paddlers finishing whitewater runs on a significant river system characterized by substantial gradient and flow. Clear Creek is a large river (Stream Order 7) with a total drop of 3,193 feet over 93.73 miles, producing an average gradient of 34.1 feet per mile. The average flow of 187.55 cubic feet per second and velocity of 2.56 feet per second indicate consistent current suitable for whitewater paddling.
As a take-out location specifically designed for whitewater kayaking and canoeing, this site provides access for paddlers to exit the river after their run. The substantial elevation change and gradient of Clear Creek make it a challenging waterway suitable for intermediate to advanced paddlers. The river's significant volume and flow characteristics mean boaters should be prepared for dynamic water conditions and plan their trips accordingly.
