Run description:
Beginner Creeking at it’s best. This run starts on the bridge of the Ash Main logging road and starts out mellow. The first drop is Dickson Falls, a class 5 slide that can be walked on
the right side. The horizon line is obvious but make sure you get out early enough.
After this drop the rest of the run is class 3 and 3+. Just after the big slide, there is a hole that might be worth looking at. Other than that the run is pretty straightforward with many fun boulder drops. Depending on your confidence, you might end up scouting a few drops but most of it can be seen from the boat.
When you come to an old partly washed out bridge, you are at the take-out.
