Description

Immediately downstream of the put-in, the creek passes under a railroad trestle (a criss-cross wooden beam affair, with more than adequate clearance) and trips down a very short rocky pitch. At paddleable flows, virtually all rocks should be covered, and this will probably be little more than exciting splish-splash to start off the run. It is possible some minor play may be possible as the gradient encounters a fair size/depth pool (for this little creek) before winding its way downstream.
