Muddlety Creek

This is a nice run if you are in the area. We ran it when Peters Creek which is nearby was 200cfs and the Gauley was 12.9. We had medium water but it could be run with much less water. The putin is super easy. Just go behind the Comfort Inn and you will find a road leading right down to the creek. At first is floats through a nice glade and then drops at a nice pace. Lots of read and run class III action. There were a few down trees but all could be easily avoided. The run is more like 3 miles. The best takeout is at the water treatment plant. There is a parking area there for the Muddlety Creek Bike/Run trail. This creek runs often due to the large watershed. If there are small waves at the putin you probably have good water. There is a nice trail the runs the entire length. Bike shuttle and or run shuttle are possible.
