River Description
Take-Out: River right on the Greenbrier River at public access area just below the CR21/2 bridge.
From the mouth of Anthony Creek this requires a ferry across the Greenbrier and a 100-yard
attainment along the river right shore line.

14 Apr 03: Beautiful Class I-II run, with lots of opportunity for trout fishing along the way.
The cited "100 yards" up the Greenbriar to the takeout is more like 200 yards, and a real bear
when the Greenbriar is full! Campsites and trout fishing at the put-in are great!

5000cfs at Alderson. There was no way they could make the attainment, and probably would have ended
up well downstream if they had tried to ferry across. Fortunately, there's a trail on the river
left side of the Greenbrier. It's a bit over 1/4 mile to the road. IIRC, the trail isn't too rough,
so dragging your boat is a good option. If you head down the Greenbrier you might be able to take
out about 3 miles downstream at Keister, but you'll still have to walk at least a couple of hundred
yards through the woods. I'm inclined to think that if Anthony Creek is high enough to be running,
taking the trail back to the bridge is the best option.
