Cloverlick Creek
Trace Branch to Poor Fork of the Cumberland (4 miles)
Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportRan it today at around 400 cfs, it was a little low. The main rapids were good, but the in between was scrapefest.
There are two gauges on the creek, right before the dam, on the left side of the river. They go up to 5ft. It is about 1.5 FT in the picture.
Paddled the cloverlick today with the Harlan gauge at around 4500, and the creek gauge at 1.5 ft. It was at a mid-runnable level, some shallow spots, and a low head dam about 3ft tall, you would have to portage at higher levels. I ran it far river left. The rapids were fun and the water quality wasn't to bad. Only two river wide strainers on a flat section after The Drag Strip. It took me 1 hour to do the trip. Here are the links to a couple videos of the creek.
