White's Creek (Rhea County)

4/11/2015 - ELF Level.
After the recent Ice Storm, there are many of trees in the creek. We portaged 12 times. Some of these trees will move with a high water flow.

Several trees are going to require a chainsaw flow to clear the channel.

Sandy Creek: ~7 miles. 10/14/14 We put in on Allowy road were it crosses the creek, a nice land owner let us park in his yard (upstream river right side). The flow under the bridge was just enough to fill the small pipe holes on the up stream river left side. It was ideal flow. Flow picks up just after the putin with one confluence a quarter mile after the putin on river right and later Alloway creek also on river right. There are no major rapids or anything spectacular. Flat to start with then gets better, then flat, then better, then great after the confluence with whites. Lots of brush, lots of living strainers, and small class 2 and 3 rapids. Shuttle is easy (since the PI and TO are on the same road), ten minutes round trip. Crisler

This is a picture of the Putin for upper whites creek. It's on old Grandview road, it's river right downstream of the 68 bridge. There are parking spots for at least 2 vehicles, then you hike the 200ish yards down the power line.

Here is a picture of a nice park that works well as the takeout of Piney River. It's about 2 miles off 68 up Shut in Gap road, on the right.

Great fun watch out for trees! Has anyone run the Sandy Creek side of this yet? Looks like put in would be on Possum/Alloway Road & confluence w/ Whites about 3 miles below normal upper put in.

This small surf spot is above Possum Trot Bridge.
