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

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 nature scenery of Montgomery County and the playfulness of the water make the trip here worthwhile. | |

The Nursery Road 7334 to mouth section of Unami Creek in Montgomery County is 7.7 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class IV-V+ section. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. Some people
prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good spots for that around here. The starting location is a short drive from Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, as you can see on the road map further down.
Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while have people coming from far and near.
