Lusk Creek

A word about the 'Directions' tab for this section of Lusk Creek. Under 'Directions Description' it reads 'It appears there is likely an alternate route to the put-in (which GoogleMaps fails to see). After passing through Eddyville (2.8 miles north of CR5/Eddyville Road crossing), turn right (East) onto New Home Road, go 0.6 mile to a slight jig-jog (passing Straight Street) to continue East onto Stone Bottoms Road for about a mile. This becomes a double-track (dirt road) which should lead to (or near) the river. (Assuming this is not marked/contested as private.)'

That's almost exactly correct. However, New Home Road connects to Hwy 145 (the main road in Eddyville) in two places. If you turn right onto it at the southern intersection, the shuttle is more scenic but the road less developed. The faster (and only slightly less direct) route is turning right onto it at the northern intersection. After passing Saddle Rd (left), you must turn LEFT onto Stone Bottom Rd; if you don't, you'll just end up back at Hwy 145 at the southern intersection. Stone Bottom Rd goes north then east. In wet conditions, it will be impassable by virtually vehicles that aren't 4WD trucks. (My AWD Subaru Outback could go only so far before it became a fool's errand.) Stone Bottom Rd will eventually lead to the creek, and the road is public.
