River Description
A named falls on the West Branch Peshekee is the highlight of this run. Access at/around the falls may be disputed due to private property. If roads are clear and not gated/posted against trespass, it may be possible to drive to the falls. More likely you may have to hike in and possibly use our listed upper put-in and (mostly) flatwater access paddle. There are some additional rapids in the two-miles from Dee Lundeen to the (main stem) Peshekee, including a fine looking quarter-mile narrows/dells.
At the confluence, you may paddle across to what appears likely to be a stub road (likely fords the stream at low flows) where you can leave your shuttle vehicle, or (at least as likely) paddle down the final bit of the (main stem) Peshekee to one of the bridge take-outs.
We need better first-hand info on this one! Anyone with awareness of the access situation (and anything about the rest of the run) is encouraged to add a comment or report (ideally with additional photo/video) to help out your fellow boaters!
