River Description
After driving over Flint Creek on US 412 dozens of times and wondering "what's down there", Ted
Wilson and I finally paddled this section in December 2004.
We were pleasantly surprised with good scenery, fun little river features and sparkling clear
water.
Main hazards are the dam at the put-in and strainers.
The put-in is right at the 412 bridge. Parking is on the west side of the creek.
For playboaters, there are some good eddy lines at the very beginning and also at Fidler's Bend,
which is the confluence with the Illinois River.
Access at Fidler's is private, but generally very accomodating to boaters. Contacts there are Ken
Spencer at Spencer's Ridge and Ron Fidler.
