This take-out site on Clear Creek in Snohomish County provides access to a significant whitewater river system. Clear Creek is a large river (Stream Order 7) with a substantial drainage area of 1015 square miles and an average flow of 187.55 cubic feet per second. The creek drops 3193 feet in elevation over its 93.73-mile length, creating an average gradient of 34.1 feet per mile, which indicates consistently moving water suitable for whitewater paddling.
As a take-out location, this site is positioned to receive paddlers completing a whitewater run down Clear Creek. The average water velocity of 2.56 feet per second and significant gradient suggest this is an active whitewater river that will appeal to intermediate to advanced paddlers. Boaters should be prepared for fast current conditions and plan their trip accordingly with appropriate safety equipment and skill levels matching the river's difficulty.
