Troublesome Creek

Whitewater Kayaking (and canoeing) offers challenges of various
levels classified as CLASS 1 thru CLASS 5. CLASS 6 is considered
to have a high potential of death or serious injury so while it is a
classification, it should not be considered as anything a reasonable
paddler would attempt. Whitewater paddlers tackle small creeks or
high volume rivers with a variety of methods from playboating at
"park & play" spots - to racing - to creeking which tackles a series
of rapids along a stretch of river. Troublesome Creek offers
outfitting - some of which is not found at outfitters lacking
whitewater experience. We can help with setting up boats as well as
accessory gear directed toward whitewater. We recommend any
serious whitewater paddler take Swift Water Rescue instruction.
While we do not presently teach such, we can put you in touch with
qualified instructors. We can recommend the correct equipment for
the type of whitewater you paddle. For example you would not want
a park & play type kayak if your interest is racing. Also a paddlers
size and experience dictates which kayak is suitable. Come in and
talk with us for all your whitewater outfitting whether it be a boat,
airbags, adhesives, paddles, repair, personal waterwear, or river
information.
