River Description

Note: The combination of Steep banks and lots of dead red oak trees (thanks to the borer beetle infestation) tend to clog the creek with wood from time to time, so keep look out.

 

Put in: Take Dixon Ridge Rd. west off of Hwy 21 about 1.5 miles north of Fallsville.  This
road is the same as the put-in road for the Hailstone run.  About 2.5 miles down this road,
there is a small road turning to the right in the middle of a switchback which leads to the Dahl Memorial wilderness access.  From the turnout at the end, brushwhack southeast about 1/2 mile to the creek.  You're aiming for approx. elevation 1820 feet, where two tributaries merge.

 

Take out: Hwy 21 bridge over the Buffalo River at Boxley.

 

~2 miles on Adkins Creek. Must paddle remaining 11+ miles of the Hailstone run at flood or hike out (not a good option).

See the description in the Ozark Whitewater Page.
