Clear Creek Narrows 4-18-07

The Black Rock run on Clear Creek is normally run at >300 cfs. Desperate to get wet, six paddlers showed up to lap the Narrows at 130 cfs. The Narrows is definitely the cleanest rapid at this level. Its pretty fun but short. I'd rate it 3+.

The first drop offers god boof potential...or not:



The other significant drop forms the Mr. Bill hole at higher water. Its just a fun little slot at fish flows:



Its worth doing if you are desperate. The walk back up to the top is definitely harder than the kayaking.
