Trinity, Stuart Fork - Deer Creek to Bridge Camp Campground (CA)
Approximate - nearest available gauge. Use as general reference only.
This narrow bedrock gorge holds two rapids that will get any boater's attention. The first drop is a tall, ramping ledge with a rock rib that splits it into a right and left channel. There's a curious exploding water feature at its base of the right channel. Spray shoots vertically about 10 feet high and all the way across the river in irregular intervals, somewhat like a geyser. The runout remains tightly bound in the gorge walls and speeds quickly toward the second drop.
