Bay Creek, Hill Branch

Shawnee NF Bell Smith Springs Trail map

First major drop in the clear (ie out of the woods)

Perfect amount of flow in spring after ~1inch of rain over 12hours and additional 10min downpour prior to paddle put in. Right after this is a kind of sluice that is tricky because of its narrow nature a paddle is useless instead one must lean into the rock so you don't flip. good luck... I ran it once at a very slightly lower level.
