Sleepy Valley Lake
It is gone!...

Blakely Creek - North Fork
16 miles away
This stream is really small and can only be paddled after locally heavy rain. Most of the rapids are in the first half mile and a few more when you join up with the main fork of Blakely creek.
De Roche creek nearby is a better run but this would make a good chaser or a good intro to creek paddleing....
