We swung by Paint Creek following some very high water to check it out. Kelley Falls had a nasty wood fence just downstream, but the rest of the creek seemed relatively wood free compared to 2024. There is still some wood in there though, mostly between the rapids, so stay heads up! We did not end up paddling. Big Laurel was running 1.5 feet.
