Description: This very tiny creek consists of three sections. To 1st bridge, this is a hemlocky passage. There are lots of good rapids and riffles formed by ledges and boulders. To the 2nd bridge, stream is out in the open, flowing through fields and past a big strip mine. Relatively flat with many easy riffles. Some strainers. Fences. Last section has rapids again in a woodsy setting. [Reported 1993]

Difficulties: Some strainers and fences in the middle section.

Shuttle: The put-in is on State Route 2009 just downstream/west of Cherry Run Campground. To reach the take‑out, follow State Route 2009 north for about 4 miles to the intersection of State Route 368. Turn west on State Route 368 and go a tenth of a mile to the bridge west of Callensburg.

Gauge: None

Normal Wet Period: No available statistics on seasons. Since this section is tiny, it should normally be runnable only after a heavy rain or during spring snowmelt.
