this creek has a nasty landowner on river right, just downstream from the put-in, at a low bridge(must be portaged). the landowner was very aggressive. make sure you portage on river left and move quickly and discretely. he seems to think he owns everything in site. also the run is choked with logs. we ran this at a very low level and a few of the logs would have been scary with more water. there is an old mill which should be portaged as well. there a few cool slides and a sweet boof off a ten footer. you decide if it's worth running. very pretty, but a lot going against it(wood, crazy landowner, wood, and more wood)

Fields Creek Falls.
Just downstream of our put-in, the land owner IS NOT BOATER FRIENDLY. His driveway bridge crosses Fields where the creek turns away from Gladesville Rd. Be quiet, become invisible. Don't confront this guy!

We chose not to run the dam/falls in the background. Too much of a rocky & shallow landing for us.

I think this wad the last major feature on this creek, before the tree infested, flat-ish water paddle out.
