Big Creek runs 2 miles from Hwy 28 to the Three Forks confluence. There are still 2 more miles of paddling out on Overflow Creek to the take-out.
The final half mile to the confluence drops 214 feet in the half mile for a nearly 430 fpm average.
_"The First time Russ Kullmar and I ran this. It had already been run once before by a local C1 paddler back in the late 1970's._
_So we tracked him down and asked him... whats it like?_
_"Great run, but don't take your kayak. It gets in the way in all the portages!"_
_He was right... great run, and we only walked 1 1/2 drops ("Jesus Christ" and "Holy Shit" - aptly named by our first utterances when we saw them)._
_Holy Shit is the one that ends in the big fall at the end._
_Jesus Christ is the one above it that goes into a bowl... used to have a tree in it._
_The names were all very expletive. Rock Bottom, Kullmars Courage, Bruces Sluice, Oh My God, Fuck Me.... I suppose most of these names have changed now." Corran Addison from RBP circa 1997._
There is another named drop called thunderdome.
