Description
A series of hazards in rapid succession over about .2 mile. Just after a road (USFS 443-A) fords the creek is a 150 yard or so stretch with several visible rocks. After the Right curve, the creek is constrained by a boulder on river left leaving two options: a narrow, shallow channel river left or a small drop and quick turn channel to the right. The area between Right and Left is clogged with rocks, branches and two large trees completely spanning the creek. Depending on how much you want to avoid, short portages are available on either bank. If you want to portage the entire straightaway and Left curve, best option may be the road (but access back to creek is not easy). Just after Left curve, a large rock on river right pushes the water river left, which also has a lot of overhanging branches.
