Description

The West Fork of Eagle Creek is a good beginner/intermediate creek at low-to-moderate flows. (Could change at high water!). This section is mostly roadside, so you can easily see most of what you are getting into as you set shuttle. For solid whitewater paddlers, there are often lots of better places to paddle, but if the rain stays mostly east of Whiteoak and Straight Creeks watersheds, you may wish to check this out. Also, it's a good option for someone lacking the confidence or skills to paddle Whiteoak at high water. Depending on flow, your time and interest, the run may be extended both upstream and down. You can find a couple additional class 2 rapids, the best being near North Pole Road. You might also check out a run on the East Fork if you are here. It is likely to be short but fun.
