Big Creek

Floated all 12mi from low water bridge to the iron bridge at 4ft.
Pros: beautiful scenery, lots of wildlife, several rapids followed by slow flat sections
Cons: the take out at the iron bridge is rough, at 4ft of water we barely were able to float under some of the low hanging trees, if water is much higher you will not make it under the trees, also several technical sections due to cyperous stumps and downed trees.
Advice to other floaters: do not float much higher than 4.25 feet or will not fit under trees (unless someone clears the trees)

Some of the nice scenery along Big Creek. One of the pools you can kayak through.

This creek is not runnable at 2.33.
A friend and I did the full 13 miles (by GPS) when the reported gauge reading was
2.33 We probably portaged and walked in the creek 25% of the time.
At least and additional +1 foot is needed to make it at all runnable.
We encountered many hazard that would pose problems at 3.33 feet or higher.
Some very scenic area and lots of fish life.
