The best way to run this creek is to park at the Deepwater Church and then walk the tracks up to what we call the Juggernaut Falls after a popular cartoon (google it). When creeks in the area are high this runs. Here is a link to some video of the falls. http://www.marshall.edu/muwc/loupcreek.htm Heath Damron
