At the start of this run, the creek soon starts dropping over gentle rock gardens, passing through beautiful woods before reaching a pool backed by a three-foot dam which requires a portage. Following this, the riffles resume, the gradient increases, and the creek rushes through an attractive residential neighborhood. After carrying around another dam in Dickeyville, the rapids become more challenging now, some of which are notably steep. The woodland scenery continues and the creek eases off into a stretch of long, gentle rapids. Be sure to identify the Edmondson Avenue Bridge because just downstream on a blind, swift bend is an iron pipe which crosses the river at a canoeist’s chest height. After carrying around this, a five-foot ledge appears that is runnable but quite nasty. A few more ledges and rapids carry you to the take-out at Carroll Park Golf Course.
