Muddy Creek (Susquehanna trib)

The old guidebooks talk about putting in at Rte. 74 or just below that. The access below Rte. 74 is gone due to landowner problems. The 6-foot dam mentioned in the guidebooks is also gone. Rte. 74 is essentially gone as an option but you can quickly still unload boats here and possibly get harassed but not arrested by the police. Just do not leave a car here unattended or you will be in trouble. The section from Rte. 74 to Paper Mill Rd. is very nice and has Cl 1-2 rapids. Speaking of problems, the preferred takeout is downstream at Cold Cabin even though the upstream takeout on the Susquehanna has better parking. This is because the police often check for required boating licenses (from each person) at the upstream takeout and most clubs have at least one paddler along who may be fined for not having such license.
