| Marble Creek on the Saint Joe River |
The first rapid is a tight series of ledges and holes. The canyon widens before a dam that must portaged on the right. From here the run is class II until the road comes back to the river. Just above the bridge, the gradient picks up. There is a long class III below the bridge. The water is flat for another mile and then picks up to class II-III for a couple of miles with a class IV rapid in there that should be scouted. At Boulder Bridge the river mellows to the confluence.
