Description
South Poplar run itself looks like it could be ran at higher flows and would run at a micro class IV.  The only feature truly explored and ran on this is the waterfall off of left hand gap road.  There is a parking lot, small 6 foot drop, great for beginning hucks and boof practice.  Undercut rock on the right but no big deal on small flows. Definitely scout this small creek if you want to run more of it.
