Just ran harrods 4/8/06 from hwy 1694 to covered bridge. It was 580 cfs and more flow was needed i would recommend 1000cfs for standing waves and rapids class 2. at 580 it was a nice run without rapids.We couldn't start at hwy53 because of lack of flow. long story short run it at 1000 cfs and watch out for strainers. Most rapids are from hwy53 to hwy 1694. we saw wood ducks, geese, beaver, 7 deer, and a red tailed hawk on the bank eating a squirrel.

this is a great creek, yes its true class 2,s if the water is up. must rain for about two days straight for good levels. on hwy393 bridge walk underneath if the water is at the dinglehopper tag your in business. start at 53 and pull out at covered bridge road unless you want to go flatwater for a few miles to the river. all rapids are inbetween these roads. lots of wildlife and beautiful scenery grea bass fishing as well
