Skull Shoal Creek

Ran this section on April 19 2014. The broad river gauge was at 5.5. There was a decent rain before the run. At this level it was very rocky and many spots the channel was not wide enough to fit a boat though, you just had to push over it. I would say this level would be the minimum and that a good fun level would be a couple feet higher. Dont even consider this run unless broad river gauge is above 5'. The shuttle is short but you have to park on the side of the road at the put in and you probably want to arrange to use the normal broad river take out at one of the out fitters or you will have to use hwy 172 bridge. The dirt roads will be very muddy after the amount of rain neccessary to make this run so 4×4 may be necessary, I had to use mine at the put in. The creek definitely has potential to be fun but it is very narrow with lots of out growth from the banks and could be sketchy at many spots. The creek comes out right below the waterfall and above rostertail so you will have to run a decent part of the broad river at high flow or flood stage.
