Muddlety Creek

I ran this yesterday at a nice medium level when this page ruled it 'too low'. I find that whenever the Cranberry gauge is 200 or better Muddlety is worth a look, which can be checked from the midpoint at the West Webster Road park, where the toughest rapid can also be scouted. If that rapid looks good to go so is the rest of the run. It's also worth noting that the Muddlety headwaters are a wetland, so this run is slow to rise after a rain but holds longer than most other local creeks.
I use the access behind the animal shelter, where you can drive to the creek edge, then takeout a few inches above the outflow for the sewage treatment plant on 39 at the Muddlety public access for Summersville Lake. In winter the gate to this access is locked so there's a hundred yard carry to the upper parking area.
As of yesterday there was some minor wood in the first mile, very visible from upstream, that I hope to remove soon. There are also some new home sites river left sporting 'no trespassing' signs facing the creek, but it's still a fun class 3+ easy shuttle creek with beautiful scenery.
This run does seem to collect new wood regularly, which I do my best to keep up with, but it's always good to stay alert. The triple island rapid a mile from the takeout is currently clear in all channels, providing a number of fun slot options.
