Muddy Creek (Susquehanna trib)

Muddy Creek is an excellent beginner or intermediate run. The river width varies from 20 feet to 50 feet making resue relatively easy. There are a few dangerous spots and one undercut (in the Gorge section - it is on the left of a narrow drop and can be choked with sticks and small logs). The water temperature can drop right after a heavy rain in the spring so be prepared.

Advanced/Expert boaters can run the creek at higher levels. Muddy Falls is runnable two ways: either boof over the center rock (this will put a dent in your boat though) or to the right of the rock by about 6 inches. DO NOT TRY TO RUN MUDDY FALLS IF YOU ARE NOT VERY COMFORTABLE RUNNING CLASS V WHITEWATER (ie the Upper Gauley). THE SCREW-UP FACTOR IS VERY LARGE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HURT TRYING IT.
