Pennsylvania whitewater - Unami Creek, Montgomery County Montgomery county, Nursery Road 7334 to mouth section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS IV-V+     7.7 miles   Ive run the reach once.  When I ran the Unami the Perkiomen was at 8,000 cfs, is this the guage you used Don?  Or is there an on site guage somewhere we didnt see.  The two largest rapids were really sic, we portaged the first and I ran the top half of the second and took out in a microeddy before the nar.  Truely an awesome reach, email me sometime at mrz2@lehigh.edu if you plan on running it, Id love to fire it up again. Says Mark Zak Undercut rocks are the name of the game on this creek.  The creek is very narrow, boulder-clogged, continuous     and flashy. The general rule is that heavy rain in Quakertown will result in paddleable water on the Unami in Sumneytown within three hours. Read Getler's description and scout all of the rapids prior to running them. My friends and I have paddled this stretch many times around 1.5 feet and 2.5 feet, which is low and scratchy; if you are going to run it above 3 feet, I'd recommend bomber-creek skills as eddies are few and far between. Says Don S The wonderful Montgomery County scenery and the cool fresh water are reasons enough to come here and paddle.
