Description: This description only covers Camp Creek Falls, a
12 to 13 foot plunge on the creek. There may be other
rapids worth running, but, so far, scouting the
creek near the Falls hasn't turned up much. The
Falls has two possible lines, both of which have "S"
turns at the top. Both also land on a foam pile
with a grabby hole at the bottom. The Falls were first
run on Nov. 6, 2000 on river right by Jason Mellor,
John McCoy, and Heath Day. Jason also ran the river
left line that day, which is a bit more difficult.
The Falls is about 20 minutes from the Cossatot
and Little Missouri, and is worth checking out
if you're in the area after a big rain!
