Mammys Creek

my memory is that is more like a class II-III creek with a couple of loooong

slides that are more like III+ to IV-. Calling it class III (a third of a

class harder than Nanthala Falls) overstates the creek as a whole and

understates a couple of rapids.

Last Saturday we got to run Mammies Creek (forgive me if I miss spell it). It

flows into Whites just above Surf City. This would be a great club trip if

we can work out a better shuttle plan. Unfortunately Jeff's truck got broken

into at the put in. The area was beautiful, with all types of flowering

trees and shrubs along the narrow creek. It seemed like a small step up from

Whites, which would seem to make it a perfect follow up trip to the Whites

club trip next fall. We didn't have to get out and scout anything. However

there were a few trees to negotiate around or through, just ask Dave

Dehart.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you in on a little jewel of a class III creek

that seems to have been overlooked by many of the area boaters. Not too

steep, not too scary. Try it, I think you will like it.
