Little Beaver Creek

Paddled this on June 26th. Flow was about 400 cfm. Not very deep through entire run. We are new to Kayaking but this was very fun for us. We didn't really have to paddle much if we didn't want to, we even fished quite a bit through the slower areas. We put in at the place in Elkton and took out right before Gretchens Lock. Entire trip took 3.5 hours. I am thinking of taking the kids and putting in at the same place and take out at Lusk Lock, it should only be 1 or 1.5 hours for this (I think). There was a tree across creek about 20-30 minutes before the Gretchens Lock Bridge which we were able to go under, but this may be a problem if water was higher.

Did this again this spring 2010, the tree across the river is gone. the water was about 500cfm and it took about 4 hours but we paddled most of the way and didn't fish at all. Should have taken out at Gretchens lock ( where we did last year) and not at sprucevale bridge. It is a good area to take out because the last half hour or so was too long for us.
