River Description

  The local name for this rapid, "Hells Bells", gives a good indication. Steep, narrow, and twisty, this is a classic creek run in the Adirondacks. Be sure to walk this section to inspect for wood. This is often combined with a run down the Upper Glen Creek. These can be combined with other local river trips, such as Mill Creek, Boreas River, or Hudson River.
