Dark Shade Creek

This photo is just downstream of the 'undercut' photo: https://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/Photo/detail/photoid/877305/
BTW, at 6 inches on the river right gauge at the Wispering Pines bridge, the undercut is easy to avoid, even when passing in front of it.

After some small steps there is a signficant drop which appears will have two lines at high water. The left line will have the main flow push you towards this undercut rock.

This is the left Line, You can see the undercut rock.

Rob Farmer---I did this several years ago, and for me it did not meet the hype in Appalachian Whitewater, Volume 2. But it was very low when I caught it. There were some man-made hazards/trash in one spot. I was disappointed. I parked near a bridge at the put-in, next to a water company pumping station or something, and the police hassled me slightly upon my return in the dark. Well, he did end up holding my flashlight, but, still, this area is the only area where I seem to get stopped by the police regularly while engaged in strictly paddling-related activities. When this is up, the Stony is way-cranking, fer shure.
