Carberry Creek road follows the creek but is often high above.
The first quarter mile is the steepest, with the main rapid 'Jackhammer' standing out above the rest, marked by a large boulder on river right in the entrance. Jackhammer starts as an open boulder garden, before funnelling left for a class IV boulder cascade. Once below Jackhammer, class III-IV boulder gardens continue. There are a couple places where large boulders block your downstream view, it is advisable to scout those blind spots your first time down. The run eases off a bit in the middle, then things pick back up with a bit of bedrock and the largest ledge on the run 'Soft Surrender'. Scout Soft Surrender from the left above the lead in when you notice that you have arrived at the first rapid on the run that is lined with bedrock.
A couple more rapids exist below Soft Surrender, and a woody island that is usually clear in the left channel. Scope out the take out markers when setting shuttle to make sure you don't float by.
Put in: The put in is where the shuttle road returns to creek level about 2.5 above the reservoir.
Take out: There is a large parking and access area on the reservoir, but there also appears to be river access just upstream of the reservoir. The reservoir surface elevation is around 1950 feet.
