Description
This a a fast roadside creek run that contrasts strongly compared to the serious Class V+ stuff downstream.  The run is continuous Class III whitewater with few eddies at higher flows.  Be careful to check for wood as it can fall in during the winter or after beavers knock trees down.  Besides being a great local run for Nederland residents after a work day you can always add a solid Class IV rapid just above the put in bridge to liven this up.
