Town Creek

Excellent access one mile below Chaneysville. Ask permission from property owners on other side of bridge. The flow was 400 cfs at USGS gauge, and sufficient with some scrapping for canoes loaded for camping out. Did approximately two miles an hour with portages at bridges and strainers. Nice steep creek. Just gorgeous rocks, flora and fauna. After the portage at Deerwood Lane NE (mile 10.5 for us) there is a surprise dam that is runnable best on the right.

We paddled the upper section of  Town Creek.  We put in at 39.79361, -78.50525 . (Good parking about 1 mile south of Chaneysville) and took out at 39.69550, -78.54853 about 1 mile east of Flintstone .  The level was 4.4 ft which was good medium flow,  There are 3 bridges and one strainer  requiring that you get out  of your boat. It took us 4.5 hr.

This bridge is a good put-in for the upper creek
