Pine Creek Rapid

Pine Creek Rapid is a Class IV rapid located at mile 7. 9 on the Illinois River featuring a large boulder that divides the rapid into two distinct routes: an easier Class II line on the left and the challenging "Boat-Eater" hole on the right side.

Pine Creek enters from the right where backpackers sometimes camp, and a beautiful pine tree camp is located just downstream on the left bank, making this a popular camping spot for multi-day paddling trips.

Boaters should decide their approach early due to the shallow boulder bar at the rapid's entrance that makes course corrections difficult.
