Description
The gorge downstream from Buttermilk Falls is bony at 4.5 feet. At 5.0 feet and higher, this section of Oatka Creek is very exciting. The water is pushy and rock abound. Definitely not a place for paddlers who cannot stay upright. A capsize in this water would quickly lead to an injury and a swim.
