Bottom Creek

low level - between mid and bottom tick on the bridge gauge

the portage around 'Eye of the Needle', or 'Inner Earth' involves multiple ropes (with Travis Overstreet)

'Two Blind Mice' is the last drop in the 'Waterfalls Section'. The entire section is essentially one continuous rapid, with eddy service in between 'Mouse Trap', 'Swiss Cheese' and the last drop 'Two Blind Mice' - one of the more impressive series of drops on the east coast.

looking upstream below eye of the needle

elf look at what i believe is mousetrap. cam is stradlin the sievy rock that usually is waiting just below the water
there everywere indeed

Please do not attempt this creek without a guide who knows it well. It is serious and there are serious land owner issues that could potentially shut the creek down to all kayakers. It would be horrible to lose access to a gem of a creek such as bottoms.

Lets not mess up relations with the land owners, we do not want this river to go to waste like Johns has.

Be Safe out there...and watch for wood below two blind mice, it tends to collect on the bottoms section.

I've never run this creek but hope to soon.
I've hiked parts of it and it looks really, really difficult. A couple friends have boated it and they confirm this. There may be property issues.
