This section of the Lamington River is known as the Black River. I'm not just
making this up, you will see the name used in businesses in the area and on
signs in Hacklebarney St. Pk. It is a very pretty run. It is also very small
and creeky and can be a long day if you do the whole thing from Coopers Mill
to Pottersville.
Generally it's a III, but with a little bit of extra water some of the
tighter drops could easily be called a solid IV. This creek also picks up a
lot of wood at times which can add to the difficulty.
The run has two small gorges. The first is upstream of Hacklebarney, the
second is just above Pottersville and is very narrow (it starts at a small
summer home on river right). The second has only two rapids, but the first is
quite tight and would be a solid IV with 3' on the gauge.
