Description

From the gauge down to our recommended put-in (below Fonferek Falls) this creek traverses a bedrock streambed. There are places which (at boatable flows) develop some very sweet-looking waves. However, with Fonfereck Falls just downstream, only the most experienced, skilled, and daring of boaters will entertain any thoughts of testing them out for play.
