Description

Polecat Falls (Sea Creek Falls) is a significant mostly vertical waterfall. This rapid is basically a park and Huc for locals. I scouted it out years ago and paddled around at the base. You will either have to carry your boat up to the drop from the parking lot or do the Class V drive over the creek and up the dirt road to the next creek access. If you do this you can run the rest of Sea Creek. I have no idea what is above the falls.
