You can no longer drive into the clear cut. This is now TN State Park property. There are signs as you enter the clear cut that say "no vehicles". This includes bicycles, 4-wheelers, and especially cars\/trucks. You will be ticketed if you park there. You can still enter the clear cut, but you have to drag your boat. Since this is a fairly new change, they are patrolling regularly, and the rangers now when the creek is running just as well as we do. Beware.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nUse this gauge: waterdata.usgs.gov\/tn\/nwis\/uv?03566525\r\nCain\/North Chick is usually runnable from the top when it registers 7.2 feet. At lower flows down to 6.8 and probably even lower, put in below the "Rock House" which is below Vortex and Drainpipe. To get there, go out of the Pocket Wilderness takeout turn left, go up Montlake, left on Poe, left on Grant, left on Barker Camp, left at the next gravel Y, and go past the normal parking area for Cain. Keep going to the clearcut through the gate that is normally open and go as far as you can. Whether you have 4WD may determine this. Follow the right Y in the road, and WATCH ON YOUR RIGHT for a dirt\/grass path (for ATV use). Park, and follow this trail out of the clearcut and down to the timbered creek corridor. There will be splits in the ATV routes, but just keep going down and to the left. Follow the most obvious route, but do not turn right. Soon you will be paralleling Cain Creek near Vortex and Drainpipe, and you will find yourself at the waters edge below the Rockhouse (which is the huge overhanging rock below Drainpipe). \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEdit<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n \r\n \t | \r\n \t2004-07-02 22:53:38 (1558 days ago)\r\n \t Sutton Bacon<\/span> |
