Lake Creek- Bottom 4(2)

Lake Creek is cool. One of the neatest granite riverbeds that I have paddled in. We paddled the bottom section at low water 150-200 cfs. A bit more would be good, but not too much more.

This section starts off with a quick warm-up and then a great boof at the Brains.

The Paralyzer is about one hundred yards down from here. This drop looked huge but surprisingly good. We wimped out and did not paddle it on this particular day, but Heise did the day before and said it paddled like Class II. Kiss me is the next drop, but does not get run very often.

Top boof in the Paralyzer.

The final rapid is the Cauldron, which must be experienced to appreciate. If you are really good like me you can run this rapid without taking any paddle strokes.
