this creek is great! this one goes at much lower flows than teeter (IMO).there is a bridge gauge at the takeout but the water gets backed up from the tygart, a visual upstream is much better. i have run this down to -1 on the bridge gauge. some sick boofs and drops that are fairly safe for being that steep. i am not sure about the left to right move at floating boulder(as stated below), no good due to overhanging undercut on right side of floating boulder, more of a right to left move. easy walk from takeout to first bridge! runs a few days after a decent spike on the tygart(arden).
