Alder Creek Rapid Access
Alder Creek Rapid Access
Alder Creek Rapid is a Class III-IV rapid located at river mile 34 on the Sandy River, known for a dangerous hydraulic effect at higher water flows that requires scouting or portaging on the river right bank.
This rapid is part of the challenging upper Sandy River section between the Sandy-Salmon River Confluence and the Former Marmot Dam Site, recommended for intermediate to advanced paddlers during fall, winter, and spring when water levels are optimal for rafting.
