Description

Coming in from river-left is Tomahawk Creek. If there is enough water in it for a run, it makes a slightly more exciting lead-in for the run on the Little Vermilion since the "Little V" has only minor rapids prior to this point, you'll have two very interesting drops on "the Tommy", and you'll still catch the main action (the 'canyon') on the Little V.
Not far downstream from this confluence, you'll pass under Interstate 80.
