River Description

Beautiful scenic run. Nothing extremely intense except a few tight slots, otherwise just a fun challenging run. Only one woody section which is missed to river right. Fairly large drainage basin for a creek so it could get alot of volume in a downpour. Only negative point is that the road that runs alongside it down to the Bluestone is gated private property so shuttle will have to be set downstream on the Bluestone River. Put in at the Mountain Creek Missionary Baptist Church on CR 4. Closest takeout would be on the Bluestone River Rd CR 27.
