Trip Reports
Log in to add a report4 of us ran this creek on Monday 9-21-09. Very nice run. Comparable in difficulty to Upper Telico. Most of it was Class 3 to Class 3 plus. There were several trees down but they were easily scoutable. Very scenic run with many waterfalls running down the side of the river. Parking area at put in, has had several cars broken into in the past. We had no problems though. Creek that this runs into was comparable to the Ocoee river with lots of big waves but not too pushy.

If you want you can just be the streamkeeper for Stinging Fork too.
On the day this was taken, The guage at the Piney River bridge measured less than 3 feet. I recommend 3 feet or more for a good run. I still had fun though.
A nice little 4 or 5 foot drop. Needs a little more water.
