At moderate levels, this is a nice little run for those looking for an intro to creekin. Eddies are abundant and the rapids arent too serious. If you cant see around a bend, look for a last chance eddy and head for it. This will get you the visual boat scout that you're looking for.
At higher flows, it's a fun run for experienced creekers. The Bridge Rapid is a hoot, the slide gets really fast and the boof at Suckpop is quite nice....but the hole will kick yer ass, so hit that boof!
If the rapid at the bridge in Moatsville looks nicely padded, then you'll have plenty of water for the rest of the run (although the slide may be a bit scrapy and slow). If the bridge rapid looks beefy, get ready to hang on...it's gonna be good! If you run Teeter at higher flows, once finished, head up the Tygart about 2 miles to Laurel Creek. It takes more water than Teeter and is also a good step up in difficulty...so if yer running teeter when its high, you'll dig Laurel!
Have fun out there, and as with all small streams, keep an eye out for lumber!
