Description

Pretty Class I-II small creek. The first five miles play hide and seek with Rt. 19E. The river then turns away from 19E and goes through a beautiful winding stretch. Occasional mostly well kept up homes by the river keep it from seeming like wilderness, but it's still very pleasant. Rapids are mostly small ledges and rock gardens. Take out on Bent Rd. before the river crosses 19E again.
