Lavozella
Creek IV
Many guidebooks and web pages recommend running Lavozella Creek in conjunction with it's sister, Pauley Creek. From a purely whitewater perspective, I strongly suggest two laps on Pauley Creek, because Lavozella Creek only has one or two decent drops and lots of bouldery class II. The scenery is very nice, but this creek not nearly as classic as its neighbor, unless you want something different just for the variety. Take out in Downieville and follow the Pauley Creek shuttle directions, but simply drive past the Second Divide Trail and park at Lavozella Creek and start kayaking there.
