Geddes Creek - Groveland Rd to the Tohickon Creek Confluence (PA)
Approximate - nearest available gauge. Use as general reference only.
Once the most feared rapid on the creek causing a startling number of swims and lost boats. The hazard is a uniform ledge on river left to the middle of the creek that caused a LOW HEAD DAM effect. Either rock fell in or part of the dam wall has blown out since 2006 and it is much less the keeper these days.
The line was a good boof over the Left ledge or a cool "S" move around the ledge hole and very close to river right under an ugly erroded tree rootball with roots that would grab at the paddle and fins of rock partially exposed in the mud wall under "in there" that would seem to "come at you" like knives if you got pushed against the wall into the mess. The river bends to the left in this whole mess. At low water it's pretty easy to stay center and miss it all.
Mileage of the rapid is very guesstimated and only represents relative position to other named rapids.
