Description
Initial info from _New York Exposed: The Whitewater State, Vol. 2_, which described this as unrun. The First Descent was noted by a comment: "We ran this creek Saturday the 4th of April 2009. After a 35-minute hike up the river-right side on the marked trail, we put on in flat water. Within a minute we were scouting the first rapids. Every drop is very runnable and very fun. They are all slides. There is wood in here and scouting is a must. we had to walk an easily runnable V-drop because of wood in the bottom hole. It was doable but because there were only two of us it would not be a wise decision, so we walked. After this there was an amazing 4-drop continuous section that probably drops 100 feet in 50 yards. If there was not so much snow we would have walked to do it again. After this the river is just a continuous 3-4 fun bomb run with trees to practice your slalom skills. "Having only read Dennis's guidebook, we were a bit reluctant to hike in and do it. But besides the amount of wood in the 3-4 sections, which caused a bit of stress and constant attention...it's a fun, worthwhile run if you add another creek or two into your day."
