Description
Rapid Lightning creek is a fun short creek run near Sandpoint, Idaho. Directions: Take hwy 2 north from sandpoint. Take a RIGHT on Colburn Culver Road. After a few miles on Colburn Culver take a LEFT on Rapid Lighting rd (At the elementary school). Drive up that road until you see whitewater. It is a Hike and Huck. It is maybe 200 feet of class 4 followed by 250 yards of class 3+ runnout. It is pool drop at lower levels. The first slide drops maybe 10-12 feet. It has a nasty slot in the middle of it. But as my group proved it is clean of wood as of June 2006. Very fun run, although short. Worth doing if you are in the area.
