Gauge Conditions

Runnable: 225.0 – 625.0 CFS

Too low. Boat and paddle abuse (scraping down a cement ditch and rocky rapids).

Data from American Whitewater & USGS
Description

Walk ~230 yards on the paved path (due east from the parking area) to a footbridge. Carry under the footbridge, get into you boat, and slide down the side of the cement ditch.

Some maps label this Deer Creek, while others label it S.Br.Underwood Creek.

Drainage area here is less than 5.5 square miles. Do not panic too much if flow seems a bit 'thin' here -- less than a half-mile downstream flow may nearly triple.

NOTE: Use coordinates of the parking lot in Krueger Park for routing/mapping apps.

If you use coordinates of this actual put-in, most apps route you to the other side of the river, to a dead-end street without the facilities available at Krueger Park.
