Rock Creek has been run a handful of times from various access points. The most legitimate of these would be putting in at Annabel Road bridge, and paddling 8.3 miles down to the Hwy 62 Bridge. The first half of the run is not well known, but the creek eventually enters a small gorge filled with rocky rapids of moderate quality, that seem likely to collect wood. Not far after this gorge starts, the river passes under a railroad trestle and bends hard left, immediately above a low-head dam. Portage on the right. Below here things wind down quickly before a slow mile to the take-out at Hwy 62.
This creek has water after several inches of rain, and flashes and drops quickly. Conditions in the upper section are unknown and should be carefully negotiated. This run is nowhere near classic or a destination, and it will remain so, but if you're trying to see it all, here lies a thin blue line that may be worth checking out.
Just after passing under a railroad trestle, the river bends hard left above a low head dam. Portage right.
Once at the confluence with the Emory, paddle upstream under the bridge and use the bridge right of way to gain Old Hwy 27.
