Scotts Creek

I have yet to run it, but my family does have a house up the road and I have spent some time both scouting and cleaning up Scotts Creek. Sadly, this creek is a local dumping site. During the summer of 2007 we, with help from Shane of the Dillsboro River Company, and WATR, pulled a lot of trash from the bank. We discovered general trash, paint, tires, tons of other crap, and the carcasses of two dead dogs. However we did not get all of the trash out of there and the creek still needs work.

As of the Summer of 2007 the last rapid still has a log in the main drop. Its up to you whether or not its runnable. The rest of the creek seemed to be clear from the road, but, once again, it is up to your discretion to take notice of this when setting shuttle. The main page description of the creek is spot on - technical and very tight. I personally think this creek has the potential to be a great local run for those in Dillsboro and Sylva after some serious cleaning up.
