| RIVER: | Black Creek |
| LOCATION: | Athens (25 miles WNW of Wausau) |
| PUT-IN: | city park NW edge of town |
| TAKE-OUT: | SE edge of town |
| SHUTTLE: | City streets through town. |
| DIST: | 1.5 miles |
| TIME: | <1.0 hour |
| CLASS: | I-II |
| CHARACTER: | A pleasant little stream in a relatively deep valley, with even grade. |
| GAUGE: | Visual. The Prairie River (about 15 miles east) may provide correlation.
I have run this just once at a fair (low-moderate) level. The Prairie gauge was at 820cfs and dropping, from a max of 1930 cfs a few days earlier. |
| SEASON: | Spring flow, or summer thunderstorms. |
| A fairly interesting, continuous easy fun run for anyone in the area when it is high enough. A few good surf waves form, some even have pretty good eddy service! This might be an interesting addition to a trip down the nearby Pine Dells, Prairie Dells, Trappe, etc. |
