Second Gorge

Report

Account This is the last of three significant rapids above Post Creek. Nice Drop below Trash Can Falls This is the first significant rapid is in the the third gorge. (aka. Post Creek Gorge) This log is a good landmark. It marks the end of the Post Creek Gorge. There is a trial on river right. It's not obvious at river level but if you climb up the rock promintory on river right and keep your eyes peeled you should be able to find the trail that will take you up to a road. This road will take you out of the canyon to Lumpkin Ridge road. This road sees a bit of traffic so in case of an emergency, one could hike up to Lumpkin Ridge and flag down some help. Otherwise it's mabe 6 miles back to the LGV Dam and then another mile or two to some cabins along the lake. This is a tricky little rapid. It's the first significant rapid in the Post Creek Gorge (third Gorge). It has a weird fold in the entrance and if you don't make the move you'll end up "Posted" against the right wall. Enter with bow left and bust across the fold. This rapid is a good one to take a look at. The move is to boof off a the flat pour-over rock left of center. Then bust through a couple more stout holes. Run It left to right and keep your nose up! Portage on the Right A little boat retrieval after getting stuffed. There is a bad log in this channel. Portage right side. Making the Left Over Postage Rusty Sage running on the only known run of trash can falls. He broke his boat on this run. Portage recommended. A drop in the middle of the second gorge.
