Description

NOTE: This stream is sufficiently narrow and tree-lined as to make difficult viewing on aerial photos. As a result, we are unable to accurately locate and identify all the named features on the run. (Added to which, it has been too many years since this reporter has been on that run.) Thus the list of rapids/features is not entirely complete or accurate, but merely representative sampling to pinpoint some of the locations. In just a few instances I have been able to make identification of features, but most features in this list are merely 'descriptors', not the boaters' names for features.

Anyone boating this run should be prepared with adequate creek-boating skills recognize, scout, and then run class IV and V rapids.

We welcome input from anyone who can help match more names to locations on this run. Help out your fellow boaters using the "Add a Comment" button which should appear below for all registered, logged-in users, or email the contact(s) listed on the "Credits & Network" tab.
