<br />
The Wilson River is better known for its fun play waves then steep boulder gardens. It runs west along highway 6 out of the Oregon Coast Range as your headed to the towards Tillamook. This free flowing river has no shortage of action with over 20 miles of runnable whitewater that starts high up in the Coast Range's steep rocky canyons.<br />
<br />
The Devil's Lake Fork of the Wilson is another one of those rarely run sections of whitewater in the Pacific Northwest. Ask me why and I might say Green Truss, Little White Salmon, Canyon Creek, etc, etc you get the point… or I may say it has no waterfalls or big classic bedrock ledges that are indicative of the other runs in the area. But that's not true either there's a large scenic waterfall on the run, but it's not part of the action it's part of the spectacular scenery you will sample along the way.<br />
<br />
Now the reasons this may never be a classic…..<br />
<br />
Wood? Yes there is wood but it's not stuck in the main drops or rapids so wood really isn't it.<br />
<br />
Access…..? maybe…..? It's a steep scramble down by the bridge from high above the river, although I didn't think it was that bad.<br />
<br />
To be honest it will never be a classic but I'm not sure why it doesn't get more traffic. Boaters drive by it all the time and peek down into the steep rocky canyons and probably say "I wonder what's down there I should go paddle that sometime". I will leave it up to you to try it out for yourself and decide, in the meantime here are some pics to get you stoked!<br />
<br />
We had 6.8ft on the <a href="http://levels.wkcc.org/?f=o02">Wilson Gauge</a> but I would recommend no less then 7.5ft on the gauge for a SICK time.<br />

The second canyon eases back, as you round the corner and head down through the class 2 look for the creek entering from river right and take the short walk up to the amazing waterfall tumbling down the side canyon!<br />

After the 3rd canyon you'll paddle under a second bridge, from here down is what I consider the "Lower Devil's Lake Fork" section. A bit less gradient but still fun, it's about 2.5-3 miles of class 3-3+ or 4ish depending on the flow to the King Mountain trailhead/takeout. This can also be a alternate put in if the waters higher or if you want to skip the harder upper rapids.<br />

There is plenty of great whitewater in this lower stretch and when the water is up it's action packed so don't let your guard down!<br />

Got in a nice play run down the Wilson R. from Jordan Creek-MP 12 with David Spiegel and Leif Anderson. The Guage was dropping and read aprx 6.4</div>

We spent time at Cedar Butte, Mile Post 16, Elevator at the Ledges and the front wave at the takeout/MP 12. Elevator was a bit low, more water would have been ideal. I'm working on dialing in the best levels for Elevator. </div>

Did a fun lap on Hagen Gorge today with Nate and Heather Herbeck it was a bit on the low side. Aprx. 2000cfs on the Washougal at Washougal and dropping as recorded on <a href="http://levels.wkcc.org/?f=uj1">Pat Welch's River level page</a> for Washington around 11:00am. The same gauge is reading aprx. 1671cfs and dropping at 6pm while writing this. The paddling was fun especially with good friends! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">"Fish Creek to Bob's Hole from a kayaker's perspective" </span></b></div>
<br />
The Upper Clackamas River is one of Portland area boater's local "go to" runs. A fun class 3-3+ section of pool drop style rapids Fish to Bob's offers kayakers year around paddling about an hour from town.<br />
<br />
Home to the famous play spot Bob's Hole, the <a href="http://www.upperclackamasfestival.org/">Upper Clackamas Whitewater Festival</a>, and the infamous Wednesday Eve Carnage Run the Clack is a fun scene for kayakers!<br />
<br />
Rapids like Carter Falls, Big Eddy, and Toilet Bowl give paddlers plenty of action in this short couple mile section.<br />
<br />
The standard put in for the run is Fish Creek Day Use Area but there is a small pull out just upstream paddlers call the "Secret Spot" although it's not very secret its great for small groups due to minimal parking spots.<br />
<br />
This TR gives paddlers a kayakers perspective of the run, all the shots have been taking from my kayak while on the river paddling. The idea is to give people a view of what the run is like from a kayak. I documented all the major rapids in order, including some of the smaller ones. I hope that paddlers new to the run or the area will find this helpful!<br />

Fish Creek itself is a fun technical class 3 run when the water at Three Lynx is above 3000cfs. The rapids are fast paced and the scenery is excellent. If the water is up it makes a nice add on to the standard section.<br />

Carter Falls is not really a falls its more of a river wide ledge that extends from river right most of the way across to the left side. There is a nice line down the river left avoiding the large hole in the center.<br />

Eagle Creek is a tributary of the Lower Clackamas River, it confluences with the Clackamas between Milo McIver and Barton Parks. It's about 45 mins SE of Portland and until this Winter I had never been down the lower stretch of Eagle Creek. I had done the Upper section which is mainly busy class 2 with a 3 thrown in, some log jams, and one nice waterfall but…..I had never ventured below Eagle Fern Falls and continued down to the bridge at Eagle Creek Rd. After a buddy of mine Paul Meire convinced me that I would love the rapids and the play on this section I finally decided it was time……..<br />

On my first couple of runs we put in at the small bridge on SE Snuffin Rd just up the road from Eagle Fern Park. After a few runs we decided that to maximize our play we should just put in below Eagle Fern Falls above the class 3 canyon which I have nick named "Whitewater Canyon".<br />
<br />
*We have also put in up on the NF Eagle Creek just below the steep section in the road where the class 2-3 rapid is*<br />

For paddlers wanting a warm up before the rapids one of the putins above the falls is a good idea. To portage the falls look for a small pull out on river right just above the drop or look for the small must make eddy at the top of the fish ladder. Be aware, If you miss this eddy your running the falls. Follow the trail and past the falls and take the second steep trail back to the river.<br />

Below the falls the river really picks up and at higher level paddlers should be aware that "Whitewater Canyon" becomes much more continuous and pushy especially for playboats.<br />

Whitewater Canyon is a solid 20 minutes stretch of fun class 3 -3+T rapids! When the walls peel back and the rapids tame you have entered "Clay Canyon"<br />

The first good waves we named "Cabin Wave's" because of the cabin/house that sits up on the river right cliffs one corner above the wave.<br />
<br />
The Cabin Waves are a series of waves #1, #2, #3, and #4. Number two is by far my favorite with eddy service on river right when the levels is prime. The rest of the waves are bonus waves.<br />

The "Log Jam" spot is more of a whole then a wave its a great spot, nice and retentive! But paddlers be aware of the giant stack of logs piled on the left bend a hundred yards or so below the feature. The logs shouldn't be a problem for paddlers with a solid roll but you would not want to be out of your boat here.</div>

<br>
About an hour Southeast of Portland near the small town of Scotts Mill is the not so well known Butte Creek. From its upper stretch with a short string of waterfalls to the play waves and fun ledgy class 2-4 down to highway 213 Butte Creek provides quality paddling. <br>
<br>
I've paddled this stretch three times now, once in my creek boat at aprx 900-1000cfs and twice in my playboat with flows ranging between 850- 1400cfs<br>
<br>
I reference the flow with Pat Welchs est. gauge <a href="http://levels.wkcc.org/?D=dv3#Adv3">http://levels.wkcc.org/?D=dv3#Adv3 </a><br>
<br>
I don't know it well enough to name all the rapids but American Whitewater has a write up on it and Jason Rackley's site Oregon Kayaking has a write up about the upper stretch with the waterfalls.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River/detail/id/1489/">http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River/detail/id/1489/</a><br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.oregonkayaking.net/creekframe.html">http://www.oregonkayaking.net/creekframe.html</a><br>
<br>
People paddle the creek at a wide range of levels ranging from 300cfs up to whatever level paddlers are comfortable with. I would guess somewhere in the 1500cfs range given that it rarely gets over that flow. If paddlers decide to put in at Butte Creek Camp the run consists of fun pool drop class 3-4 rapids with 2 class 5's. The first class 5 is stout!! Its a flume style drop that falls into a narrow shoot. I have never run this myself but I know it has been run by Jacob Cruiser. The second class five is the falls at Scott's Mill Park and it is very runnable. The creek starts off with fast class 2-3 near the camp and soon turns to pool drop class 3-4 with stretches of class 2 to split it up. Butte Creek below the park begins to taper back a bit with a couple of nice rapids below the falls and some fun play waves but sticks to a class 2-3 character till highway 213.<br>

This fun rapid had a surprise for us, a new piece of wood! Some of the group went right channel hugging the inside to avoid the log while the rest chose the left channel boof.<br>

This is a fun falls that is partly man made but fortunetly its kayaker friendly! Look for a green tongue right of center with a nice boof. Keep your eye open for some nice little play waves above the park.<br>

<b>Status:</b> Exploratory<br />
<b>Class:</b> 4-5 Technical, with Portages<br />
<b>Character:</b> Creek with bouldergardens, waterfalls, Gorge<br />
<b>Season:</b> Early Spring or Rainy <br />
<b>Access: </b>Steep<b> </b>6 mile hike in<br />
<b>Scenery:</b> Superb, classic style Columbia River Gorge creek with vibrant green surroundings, spectacular Basalt bedrock, and old growth trees that grow close to the drainage. <br />
<br />
Its not often that kayakers descend new drainages. With Portland and Hood River close by there are no lack of adventurous kayakers hungry to find the put in of the next classic NW creek. Unfortunately for today's paddlers quality new runs are like urban legends, people talk about it but never really get to experience them.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
but...... for those dedicated to putting in the time and energy adventure still awaits!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
On the Oregon side of the Columbia River Gorge located just east of Cascade Locks lies the Hatfield Wilderness and Herman Creek. The Hatfield Wilderness covers 65,000 acres on the northern side of Mt Hood with three major drainages Eagle Creek, Tanner Creek, and Herman Creek. The Herman Creek area seems to be the least explored of the three and is tucked back in a fairly remote zone. This scenic part of the CRG seems to be off the radar for most and despite the popularity of close by Eagle Creek as far as we know our crew was the first to descend the drainage.<br />
<br />
The Adventure starts in the parking lot of the day use area at the Herman Creek Camp Ground.<br />

From there the path ascends steeply up a few switch backs before it crosses over the power line access road and continues at a steep grade up towards a split that takes you up the canyon for Herman Creek.<br />

At Camp Creek your about halfway, but don't expect the hike to get much easier as the trail continues steeply with very few spots where you can catch your breath.<br />

By the time you make the final push up to the Casey Creek junction you should be used to the steep grade. Consider making this your lunch spot before descending down to East Fork Herman Crk. Don't miss the trail down to the E.F. or you'll be sorry. The dense forest, steep downhill, and slippery footing, is a demoralizing endeavor after the steep 4 mile ascend up to Casey Crk. After you descend the trail down to the confluence you can walk a short distance back upstream of the East Fork and scout the top 3 falls. #1 and #2 have been run but #3 is choked with wood and not runable.<br />

The 1st falls on the E.F. looked pretty questionable, but when Willie ended up at the top of the falls after being separated from the group on the hike in it seemed like the most logical option was to run it. The hike around the falls from the top was not easy and Willie opted to take a 1st D of Lost Falls on verbal beta despite the obvious hazards. His line went well missing the logs at the base<br />

The 2nd falls "Glory Falls" was a great drop, however accessing the pool meant you had to run #1 or do a sketchy seal launch under a log and between some hanging branches.<br />

Just below Deserted Falls we confluenced with the West Fork and continued down the main stem of Herman. Some wood and a bunch of class 2-3+ bouldergardens led us to the "Abandoned Gorge". With more water the section above Abandoned Gorge would be fasted paced and require quick judgment to avoid hazards.<br />

At the entrance to the gorge was Secret Falls, a two tiered drop totaling aprx. 35ft. Secret Falls is a committing drop locking you in to the canyon with no way out, but it rewards paddlers with towering polished basalt walls capped by moss that seems to glow as green as Emeralds.<br />

After Secret Falls there's one drop and a small low angle slide that leads you to Exit Drop. Exit is a fun drop but beware at higher water it could be a dicey.</div>

Below Exit Drop the gorge walls peeled away and the nature of the creek changed a bit, as we made our way to the bridge we encountered 2 smaller rapids and more class 3.<br />

At the bridge 2 of the team opted to hike out the last mile or so while myself and Keel decided to finish the last bit. In my mind I had no choice but to continue and release my curiosity so I knew we hadn't missed anything good. Once we passed the bridge the gradient picked back up, unfortunately the bedrock didn't and we were faced with steep manky class 4-4+ bouldergardens with pin spots galore. As we struggled threw the last section the gradient tapered off and the fish hatchery came into view. We navigated a small weir and took out on river right at the road. The others rendezvoused and met us, cold beers were waiting and we all cheered to a fun, safe and successful exploratory run!<br />

- A tributary of the more famous Sandy River the Green Canyon section of the Salmon tumbles down off Mt. Hood just a bit east of the town of Sandy. A scenic intermediate run the river starts off continuous and very scenic while quickly descending over small drops and mini boulder gardens. The first two-thirds of the run will keep intermediate paddlers entertained with small fast rapids and stunning scenery. Wood creates potential hazards during the run but no portages were necessary during our descent. Paddlers should be aware of a potential man made fish obstruction (fish counter wheel) towards the lower section. The character changes during last third of the run as the canyon opens up and houses start to line the river banks. Despite the lack of seclusion the river remains relatively scenic as it starts to mellow out on its way to the take out. </div>

The NF Clackamas R. is a excellent expert creek run! One of the closet creeks to Portland, paddlers often overlook the NF due the world class runs located in the Columbia River Gorge. Different in character from the classic stretches in the CRG the NF's hazards can change more frequently and with less paddling traffic its always a bit of an expedition. The run offers paddlers the chance to utilizes there portaging, log dodging, and team work skills to make a successful run. Good Luck and be safe! </div>

I am not sure why I don't go to the Farmlands more?? Maybe because I always want to run the Green Truss. But last winter's big ice storm had a devastating impact on the Green Truss leaving wood everywhere<br />

So fast forwarding to this Spring here I am trying to convince myself to go paddle the Truss with a bunch of wood hazards. After failing to convince myself that I should go brave the wood hazards on the Truss, myself and some others decide to paddle the Farmlands.<br />
<br />
With a solid level of over 4ft on the White Salmon gauge it seemed like the Farmies would be good! <br />
<br />
We put on and sure enough it was a solid flow with pushy water boiling between the tight canyon walls. Water flowing over the ledges were creating some nice boofs and when the boofs landed in nasty holes nice tongues were formed.<br />
<br />
Wood was present however the significant hazards were minimal. A couple river level portages and some wood dodging didn't discourage our fun. <br />
<br />
Lava Falls and Off Ramp provided some taller drops and combined with all the other fun rapids I found the Farmlands to be a solid fun class 4 stretch with 2 class 5's.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the pics<br />

The 2012 NW Creeking Competition was a record year with sick flow, over 100 competitors and sunny 75deg. weather! As the organizer its a huge amount of work, but despite all the work I always have fun and ALWAYS race!<br />
<br />
Thanks to all the sponsors, volunteers and everyone who came out to participate! I am already looking froward to next year.<br />
<br />
Here are a few shots from the comp<br />

This section has been on my list of "To Do" runs for many years. There are a few reasons why it took me this long to paddle it.<br />
<br />

This section has been de-watered by PGE for the West Side Hydro Power Project which started in the early 1900's What does that mean???<br />
<br />

Well... PGE has 3 dams on the Clackamas between the NF Reservoir and River Mill Dam just below Estacada. <br />
<br />
- North Fork Dam<br />
- Fairday Diversion Dam & Power House<br />
- River Mill Dam <br />
<br />
The combined 3 dams create enough electricity to power 30,500 homes<br />
<br />
This doesn't account for the Oak Grove Power House that can generate enough power for 22,000 homes by itself do to the steep drop at the power house location.<br />
<br />
Total ability to power = over 50,000 homes which is then sold back to us to power our TV's, computer's, stove's, washing machines. etc..... <br />
<br />
For more info on the project click the link below.<br />

<br />
I am not passing judgment on how right or wrong this is I am just relying info! Don't punish the messenger.<br />
<br />
The water dilemma is created by the Fairday Diversion Dam. Because of the diversion dam there is only adequate amount of water to paddle when the river rises to over 5,000cfs on the Three Lynx gauge. This usually happens a few times a year. <br />
<br />
One thing to remember about the flow is the inflow and outflow do not equal the amount of water in the run. Water is pulled out just above the diversion dam and released below the run. So to calculate flow for the Cazadero Stretch you would need to know what is spilling over Fairday Dam. This is my understanding of it.<br />
<br />
The other problem along with lack of water is that the old highway that used to run along the river connecting the Upper Clackamas to the lower stretch below McIver was shut down and gated. Paddlers that want to run this section must hike their boats upstream form the gate at the west end of the old highway and put in just below Fairday Diversion Dam.<br />
<br />
Luckily for us the hike is short aprs 10-15 minutes on a nice paved road. While making the hike you can scout the rapids, very convenient. <br />
<br />
So those are the challenges! However this is a great short run. I would recommend running this section when flows are between 5,000- 12,000cfs. I have been there twice now, once at 5,000 and dropping and once at 12,000 and dropping. Two totally different experiences! If you like BIG water class 4 check it out high if you prefer more technical pool drop class 3-4 lower levels may suit you more.<br />
<br />
The run is scenic and fun, well worth the effort. Paddlers can take out on the lake behind the Cazadero Inn. which is also where we left our cars. Leave some money at the takeout and have a beer or some food when you are done!<br />
<br />
Below are pics from 12,00 and falling. Enjoy!<br />

<b>The middle channel on Island Split Rapid</b></div>
<br />
The third big rapid is a is split by two island and makes 3 channels. The left is the sneak route, the middle is the main line, and the right is the JUICER line! Your Choice.<br />
<br />
When I went back at the lower level me and Ryan Young fired off the steep/technical right side. It was not JUICER but it was very fun. A bit manky and pinny thought.<br />

I would encourage paddlers to check this out and start raising awareness about this run. Its obvious that PGE flooded some great whitewater between the NF dam and River Mill dam. Its a real shame for Estacada, they would have had a great stretch of whitewater running right by town. <br />

<span id="goog_1535065597">The Grand Canyon of the Verdon is described as one of the most scenic gorges in Europe. Popular with hikers and rock climbers the canyon is a magical place unlike any I have ever seen!</span><br />
<span id="goog_1535065597"><br /></span><br />
<span id="goog_1535065597">With canyon walls towering hundreds of feet high and at times so narrow that it literally pinches the river off one must descend the canyon to get a feel for its terrain.</span><br />
<br />
<span id="goog_1535065597">The section is aprx 24 miles and considered a class 4 run, but with long stretches of mellow water its not super difficult. Inaccessibility, length, and walled out canyon stretches can at times make it seem like its harder then it is. </span><br />

<span id="goog_1535065597">The second of the two cave style rapids has a solid class 4 lead-in rapid. This rapid has a good size hole that guards the slot entrance to the cave. A sieve on river left at the entrance means paddlers must stay on line. Once past the sieve paddlers can relax in the flatwater and enjoy the unique geology. The cave becomes pitch black but paddlers can head towards a small glimpse of light which leads to the exit of the cave. To exit the cave paddlers must portage over floating wood, debris, and large boulders then climb out to the seal launch. We saw another group squeeze through a crack at the bottom of the rock pile to avoid the 15ft seal launch. </span><br />

The Guil seemed to be a popular summer destination for Europeans paddlers. With great scenery and solid intermediate to advanced paddling I could see why. We paddled two sections of the Guil the "Combe de Chateau-Queyras" and the "Combe de l'Ange Gardien", which I'm told means "Guardian Angel Gorge".<br />
<br />
The first section was very unique, with an old French castle perched high above a narrow gorge. The spot was a major tourist attraction with castle tours, rafting, and some cool canyoning in the gorge below the castle.<br />

After paddling the Upper Castle Gorge and the rapids below it we continued downstream to the Guardian Angel Gorge section which had more great rapids.<br />
<br />
The Guardian Angel Gorge didn't have any castles perched above the canyon walls but it provided great whitewater and solid scenery!<br />

We were stoked on the late summer paddling that Paul and Val turned us on to in the Durance River Valley. The French Alps are a worthy summer destination for intermediate to advanced paddlers and provided a awesome testing grounds for the prototype Fluid creek boat we were testing "The Bazooka"!<br />

<b>Torrent du Chichin</b> <b>/ French Alps</b></div>
<br />
Let me just start by saying the French Alps are an amazing place! The scenery, food, and the history in this area is hard to beat! I was lucky to have been invited by the owner of Fluid Kayaks to join himself and 5 other Fluid Kayak team members to paddle in the French Alps and test a new creek boat design.<br />
<br />
The trip started with a short drive north to Seattle where my little brother Nate was kind enough to drop me at the airport and see me off to Italy. From there I made the 9 hr flight to Amsterdam where I had a 6 hr lay over before connecting to my final destination a small airport in Caselle about 45min out of Torino Italy.<br />
<br />
Everything went unusually smooth for me and I arrived in Italy tired but stoked. I touched down late at night, which was a bit disorienting due to my lack of sleep and inability to speak Italian. The airport at Caselle was small and deserted when I arrived around 11pm. With the help from a local who spoke a small amount of english I was able to hop on a bus to Torino.<br />
<br />
When I arrived in Torino I quickly found a hotel, celebrated with a beer at a local pub and hit the sack to try to sleep off some of the jet lag from the long flight. Italy is 9hrs ahead of the NW so the first two days were a bit rough.<br />

<b>My 1st beer in Italy</b></div>
<br />
I woke up late (11pm) and with a day and a half to burn before meeting the the others I decided to cruise Torino and take in the sights. Torino was a busy place, stuffed with shops that were broken up by old Italian buildings from the 1700 and 1800's.<br />

After seeing some of the sights in Torino I hopped the bus back to the airport where I met Hugh and Cellier who flew in from S. Africa and David a local paddler, guide, and interpreter. We hopped in David's car and drove to his house where him and his girlfriend ran a small European style bed and breakfast.<br />

At David's we got our gear in order and the next morning took off to the Alps for some paddling! The boarders between Italy and France are pretty much non-existent. The only way I knew we were in France was because the writing had changed from Italian to French. Soon we were in the scenic French Alps making our way over a pass, through a ski town headed for the Durance Valley. <br />

The roads were narrow, curvy, and crowded. Motorcycles using an imaginary middle lane and passing on the tight mountain corners almost out numbered the cars. Cyclist who seemed to think they were on the Tour De France braved all the motorized vehicles for an epic self torture mission to make the steep passes. <br />

After descending the pass we arrived at a French fortification. Similar to a castle, fortifications were designed to keep towns safe from invading armies. Inside the walls of the fortification lied a small village with shops and restaurants. <br />

After descending the pass we dropped into the Durance River Valley where we got our first taste of whitewater.<br />
<br />
At the Torrent du Chichin we met up with two French Fluid Team paddlers, Paul and Val. With no prior warm up the Frenchies led us straight to a French Park & Huck. The 1st drop was a 10-12 ftr with a tricky entrance. The 2nd was a 15-20 ft 30deg slide that spouted up like a fan and off the final small ledge. We all met at the trail head which was popular with hikers, we geared up and made a short hike to the top of the falls.<br />

After the Park & Huck we headed to the Fournel. The guys told me this was a hard one to catch and that we were lucky to paddle it in August. The Fournel was a small creek with a bunch of man made structures designed to slow down the water during the high season. For us it was a chance to test our boofs!<br />

On the way up I noticed the canyon below our take out looked steep and deep When we got done it was obvious that there was undoubtedly some steep rapids in there. Unfortunately the water was diverted and apparently there was not much info on it. Val told me it was better for canyoning. </div>

Located on the east side of the North Cascades the Wenatchee has great summer time flows, sunshine, great camping, and whitewater for all levels. Summer time Class 5 boating can be found on Tumwater Canyon and Icicle Creek. Tumwater Canyon has some of the best big water class 5 kayaking in the NW, while Icicle has continuous, steep, and technical class 5-5+.<br />
<br />
For those wanting something a little mellower head to the German style town of Leavenworth aprx. 15 minutes west form the normal class 3 takeout. From Leavenworth paddlers will enjoy big water that is well suited for intermediates.<br />
<br />
Just above Cashmere play boaters will be treated to world class play. Spots like Rodeo Hole, Trinity, Turkey Shoot, and Grannies will keep even the best play boaters satisfied! <br />
<br />
After a long day of boating head into Leavenworth and enjoy a good German beer in a German style town set below steep snow covered peaks. Let yourself drift off and you may think you have flown to Europe! <br />
<br />
If the flows are between 12,000-2000 go check out the Wenatchee!<br />

Here are some shots that I was able to quickly snap off on the Little White Salmon the other day!<br />
<br />
The Little White is undoubtedly one of the best runs around! For local class 5 paddlers the run is a staple. When the sun is shining in the Columbia river Gorge you can bet you will find the who's who of NW paddlers hanging around the take out amped to run some laps on this gem. Here are some pics from the lower section of the L-Dub.<br />

Table Rock Fork Gorge<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> The Table Rock Gorge has been one of those spots that alludes me for no good reason. The Molalla R. is most famous for its fun class 3-3+ section known as the "Three Bears Run", but it also has a handful of other fun sections. The Table Rock Fork has 3 sections on its own including the Lower Table Rock Fork, The Table Rock Fork Gorge and the Upper Table Rock Fork. There is also the Nasty Fork and its upper section known as the "Copper Creek" stretch.<br />
<br />
Supposedly there is a nice class 4 stretch on the North Fork Molalla that is rarely run do to a locked gate. For playboaters there is a great play spot known as the "Warehouser Wave" that lies down stream in the easier class 2-3 whitewater below the Glenn Avon Bridge. <br />
<br />
With many sections waiting to be explored the Molalla still sees very few paddlers. The Table Rock Gorge is probably the least run section in the drainage. I think many paddlers had read the write up of this section on the Oregon Kayaking website and been steered away. The write up describes the slot in the middle of the canyon to be very dangerous and possibly un-runnable at flows over 700cfs. A slot drop in a walled out canyon with a large boil pushing in to a nasty undercut room was not making it sound inviting. But the Oregon Kayaking crew had explored the section at a very low 400cfs and we wanted to check it out for ourselves.<br />
<br />
My friend Jeremy had been itching to find a sucker who would probe into the canyon with him. He claimed it was good to go if we had the right level. So during a trip down the Nasty Fork we scouted the gorge at 3700cfs, this was NOT he flow we wanted. However after scouting the rest of the stretch I was stoked to at least knock off the rest of the gorge even if I didn't run "The Slot". A few weeks later I called Jeremy and we decided the flows looked good, so we headed out to give it a shot.<br />
<br />
The rest is what you call history! <br />
<br />
The entrance ledge to the gorge looks easy from the road but be careful it can be a bit deceiving form the road<br />

<br />
Over the weekend paddlers gathered on Canyon Creek as they do on many weekends during the rainy season. As we geared up to descend the creeks tight canyons and rapids no one really knew of the surprise waiting down stream. A few had come form out of town for their first run on the classic stretch. These paddlers would run creek with blissful ignorance never knowing the monumental change that occurred to Canyon Creeks river bed.<br />
<br />
For the locals who know Canyon Creek intimately the change in store would be a huge surprise. <br />
<br />
The Boulder Garden as it is called is one of more challenging rapids on Canyon Creek. The long Boulder Garden climax's with two ledges. The first is a ramp style ledge with a large whoop de do. The second is a 8ft non vertical ledge with a hole that has the reputation of being sticky and retentive. Many paddlers have been caught off line and paid the price at the final ledge.<br />
<br />
Like many other times before I approached the first of the two ledges and lined up so I would be in a good spot for the final ledge as approached the 2nd ledge and prepared for a boof I was astonished to find no more ledge.<br />
<br />
What was left in its place was an easy flume style rapid with no hole. The consequence was gone and the ledge's reputation for being a crux move was no longer appropriate, the threat of getting a beat down was gone!<br />
<br />
Part disappointment with part relief.<br />
<br />
As I sat in the eddy with the rest of the group the appropriate eddy buzz could be described as stunned! The old days of nervous paddlers hoping for good lines through the final Ledge of the Boulder Garden would only live in photos and in memories......<br />
<br />
For those of you that never saw the final Ledge here it is. For those of you that new and loved that last drop in the Boulder Garden here is a few pics to remember it fondly.<br />

With the waterfall run on the EFL providing quality class 4 creeking most boaters never even think about the play that comes in at higher levels. When the level reaches 2500cfs and up some nice play features come in. So next time you are on the EFL and its up don't forget to bring your play boat!<br />
