River Description

Fun wilderness micro-creeking.  When it is running all you see is a thin loud white line going down. Scout, scout, Scout for sketchy spots, pin potentials, strainers/wood, and sieves.   Run down past the confluence with Wilson Creek to the trail on river left and hike back up to FR192, rinse & repeat as necessary.  Take out at the confluence because of the sieved waterfall immediately below (see photo)

OR

Continue down Wilson Creek and float WC to the next major confluence on river left (Cary Flat Br/Bucks Timber/Flat Land Br all dump in here).  This is the put-in for typical Upper Wilson Creek trip (Reach # 3560). You can take out and hike up TR257 to the town of Gragg, NC or continue on and cross into Caldwell county @ Edgemont, NC.  From FR192 to Edgemont Rd. is probably 7 miles.
