This is a quality intermediate creek run in the headwater reaches of the Willamette River. It is a go to run for Eugene boaters when there has been lots of rain in the area.
The shuttle is easy, along a paved road, and the run is roadside.
The nature of the run is class II-III seperated by fun bedrock ledges in the 5-10' range. Everything can be easily scouted and portaged, and it is usually obvious when boaters have arrived at a drop worth scouting.
No mandatory rapid portages, but in some years there is wood present.
At high water, some serious holes develop.
Check out the description of this run, with lotsa pictures, in
