Entrance View to Hubbard's Cupboard


Description: Pyramid Rock is a couple of hundred yards below the confluence of Fike Run and (PA)Sandy Creek. This rock is a sign that you are entering Hubbard’s Cupboard. If you paddle past this rock on the right, there are few to no eddies (depending on water level) before you get the area where there is a real potential for pinning and entrapment.
To avoid the danger, start your portage at or above where the camera is positioned or paddle to the eddie behind the rock where Keith Pasquariello is standing. Behind Keith on river left is a boney, knuckle-dragging, barely boatable series of slots. If you are able to actually paddle back there, you are probably in for a screaming high water ride for the rest of the run.
