Summary
The ideal streamflow range for this river is between 200 and 600 cfs. This class II-III river run has a segment mileage of 15.5 miles and offers a variety of rapids and obstacles, including Rock Garden, Schoolhouse Rapid, and Ledge Drop.
Rock Garden is a section of the river that is known for its boulder-filled rapids that require precise maneuvering. Schoolhouse Rapid is a class III rapid that requires a strong paddle stroke to navigate through a narrow channel. Ledge Drop is a class III+ rapid that is known for its steep drop and large boulders.
It's important to note that Rock Creek is located on private property and requires a permit to access. Additionally, the river is only open to paddlers during the spring and early summer months due to low water levels during the rest of the year.
In terms of regulations, it's important to follow Leave No Trace principles and avoid camping or building fires along the riverbank. It's also recommended to wear a personal flotation device at all times and to carry appropriate safety equipment, such as a throw bag and first aid kit.
