Description

This creek boasts a few fine spots. A rock-dam 'falls', and a sweet spin wave provide playboating possibilities. While some have attempted longer runs (putting in further up), generally they have found a lot of portages due to deadfall and snags. (The upstream portions of this stream go through a lot of wooded area.)
