Woodenrock Creek

Woodenrock Creek has a short section of good whitewater.  It is a tributary to the South Fork Coquille and has convenient road access via a gravel logging road.  The put in is at a bridge, with a beautiful 30-ish foot falls visible below.  The falls can be thoroughly scouted before putting on.  Safety for the first person can be set on river left by scrambling down from the road.  The first person to go over can set safety for everyone else from river right after landing.

Below the landing pool the creek enters a hundred yard section of ledgy whitewater, which can be scouted or portaged from river right after dropping the falls.  

The bedrock ends abruptly and we eddied out on river left to walk up the clearcut back to the road and our car.  You could continue down to another bridge, but satellite imagery shows inordinate amounts of wood before the bridge is reached.
