Clear Creek

Post by kru1 » Tue May 12, 2015 8:57 pm

It has been over a year since I have paddled this stream last. Can't believe the changes. Typical class II+/III stream. Must make eddies, ferries, peal-outs, and moves. Sweepers all around, not really any strainers or portages.

Hi' I was just curious as to what level this was and what part of the creek was ran?
Looks fun.

That was Chester church down to the Frog. But I can't remember the level. Frog has to be flowing good (high) and even then a visual at the church is a must. Maybe Mike or Rob can remember the level?

I didn't write down the levels for that day . But we ran it November 29 at @4.5 and I thought it was a little low. Still a fun run.-M- :twocents:
