At the put in, a small trail leads down to the rock outcropping adjacent to the put-in slide. Walk down, and then under the bridge to get to the eddy upstream of the slide. An auto-boof off the kicker at the top seems to work well, then ride the lightning down to the eddies on the left or right at the bottom. Shoal Creek also features one last slide as it dumps into Scarham, which can be run as well if desired.
