Overview:

This is run is outside Oakdale and is part of the Obed-Emory system, so hence it gets a write-up here :)
While making the guide section for this site. We went and checked it out. I won't bad mouth a creek here.
But this a ditch, and is low quality. When bored it would be something to do I guess. If this one is running
so is Little Clear Creek, don't waste your time here.


 

   

 
 
 

                 

***Warning label***

Whitewater paddling is VERY Dangerous, and you should get instruction before ever attempting even to paddle flatwater. One of contributors to this web site has personally helped bury 3 kayaking friends, this isn't a joke. Whitewater paddling can ruin your life through accidents and can effect your family and friends throughout a lifetime.

The information on this page is incomplete, inaccurate, and very unreliable.   Use with caution.  Whitewater paddling is a dangerous sport and the information here is not a substitute for actual knowledge and skill.  The authors are not liable for your actions. Go ahead and kill yourself if you want to, but don't blame others for you actions and decisions that you will make on and off the river.
