Willow Creek

Hey there campers,

We're just getting back from our low water adventure on Willow Creek. Daniel, Dan, Dan #3, Ian Berkley (from San Jose area), and Myself decided 40-50cfs would be a good flow to give it a go. We were wrong. Shortly after putting on, we realized that we needed at least 60+ cfs to make it fun. At 40-50cfs, it was a lot of work with periods of fun. All in all it was a good day.

Junkie section

Our main objective was to document this run for the AW page, and I feel that we did that fairly well. We took tons of pictures and lots of video, and we'll be updating the AW page shortly. I'll post here when it's ready. If you decide to run this section, there is a pretty camp ground at the Take Out. You can run the upper, camp for the night, then run the lower section the next day. You are also just a few minutes from Big Creek, another fantastic run.

Evan slides while Dan stretches

We hope you enjoy the video. It should give you an idea of what this run is all about.
To sum it up, it's lots of fun drops and slides, a really junkie section, and then 3-4 more quality drops. Is it worth all the effort? Not at this flow, but at a higher flow it's a good time.

We'll be hitting the lower section of Willow Creek in the next week or so. Stay tuned.

Take care
