| Character/Similar To: |
Jordan Creek is a great introduction to creek boating, the drops come in quick succession and they should all be scouted. Because of the narrowness of this creek wood is constantly a problem. Low water offers many fun tight slots, high water offers many big holes and a continuous nature. |
| Hazards: |
The only real hazards on this section are logs and brush over-hanging into the river. This run can be very difficult for beginner creek boaters at high levels. |
