Description

The creek is not terribly difficult per se, but it is a steep woody microcreek with constant threats to keep your eyes open. The put in is reached by hiking up on river right from Tumbling Water to Austin Creek falls, or just by putting in at Tumbling Water cascades. The alternative access is just below Area Z with a short hike down to the creek. The takeout is at the Sudden Valley Golf Course. This does run behind houses so don't be a nuisance. The gage for this is a correlation gage on an adjacent drainage. A short video at low flows at the Tumbling Water Cascades Short video at around 3.6 feet at the guage starting from the confluence
