Upper Upper- (Above Drakestown Rd.)

Unlike Ken Lockwood Gorge downstream, this section doesn't run very often. We've gotten on the lower half twice, and the whole thing once, during Hurricane Isaias. If there's a ton of rain, and the South branch is going straight up, go check the put-in. If it's running, run this first then head elsewhere. There is only one really distinct individual drop, above Stephen's Mill Rd., It consists of a series of ledges and could be reasonable called a class 4 drop. Otherwise this is mostly class 3, but if it's running, it's very continuous and there is a lot of strainer (both natural and man-made) potential, so it plays out as a class 3-4 run.
