Anthony Creek

Just updated the minimum flow to 7.5, thanks for the feedback.

Just ran this on 5-26-20. The gaue was 7.8. this was no more that 0.3 above zero, probably was zero for some kayakers. 7.5 is the bare minimum, I'd say.

This is a great run, fun class II begins when the river bends away from the road. Really cool rocks in the river and nice clear water. The gauge needs to be reset on this page. The new gauge doesn't line up with the old gauge readings. I went there and it was under 7ft on the gauge, and it was too low. I wouldn't consider going again unless it was over 7ft.
There is a nice small parking area at the Greenbriar bridge crossing and a short trail that goes down to where Anthony Creek comes in. We biked the shuttle along the road, its really short, 4.5 miles maybe.

Typical rapid on Anthony, high water

Some friends paddled Anthony Creek over Memorial Day weekend in 2005, when the Greenbrier was about 5000cfs at Alderson. There was no way they could make the attainment, and probably would have ended up well downstream if they had tried to ferry across. Fortunately, there's a trail on the river left side of the Greenbrier. It's a bit over 1/4 mile to the road. IIRC, the trail isn't too rough, so dragging your boat is a good option. If you head down the Greenbrier you might be able to take out about 3 miles downstream at Keister, but you'll still have to walk at least a couple of hundred yards through the woods. I'm inclined to think that if Anthony Creek is high enough to be running, taking the trail back to the bridge is the best option.

Those guys are right when Anthony is up, attaining the Greenbrier is a B%^&*, I'd rather paddle on down the greenbrier

this is a cool spot on the Lower Anthony Shuttle.From this point you can walk 30 feet and get a great view of the greenbrier river..
