Reedy River

My friend and I paddled this little stretch on Sunday afternoon. The put-in was freshly weed-whacked and easy to spot on the side of the road. Definitely be sure to not block the gate, but it is easy to avoid.

The take-out looks like it's had some rocks put in recently to block the main parking area, but there's still plenty of space to park between the road and the rocks. I don't think it's possible to get any closer with a 4WD as the description suggests, but it's a short walk from the river to the parking.

The run itself feels surprisingly secluded and has just enough little features to keep things entertaining. The highlight for sure is the slide about 0.1 miles in, but there's other spots that were also nice to keep us entertained. Anything below 5' though and you're doing a LOT of scraping.

There's several trees that are down, but all but one are pretty clearly avoidable. There is one tree down at mile 1.5 that you may have to get out of the boat to get over, but that might not be a problem at higher levels. The river is reasonably clean thanks to the work of locals taking out dozens of tires, but I still wouldn't want to spend all day swimming in the water.

Overall a very logistically easy, beginner-friendly (at least at this lower flow) run super close to town.
