Description
An exciting roadside creeking run that is totally continuous and technical. It looks small from the road, but there are few eddies. The top couple miles are the steepest, but the gradient stays respectable to the end. There is often wood present, so it's best to do a cautious lap to suss out the situation, followed by a fast second lap.
It has been described as a class IV version of the NF Payette when the flows are good.
The gauge on the bridge at the takeout has been painted over by a graffiti artist as of March 2022. Before that gauge was obliterated, it was said that good flows at the take out gauge are 4.5'-5.5' for most boaters. It can be run both higher and lower than that based on your taste.
Pat Welch's calculated flow (Tucker - WF) is here.
