Trailside Stretch

A little over a mile of class II water along with two or three class III rapids follow the second boulder garden.  The first class III rapid after the second boulder garden  passes a pretty waterfall on river-left formed by Rough Run Creek.  It is private property and posted as such with signs and steel cables.

A trail on river-right is never far from the river until the river-right bank steepens and rises 50 feet or so above the river.  The trail is on private land, but public access by foot is generously permitted with posted restrictions (no fires, no camping, no hunting, etc.).  Signs near the trailhead on Shoal Creek Mountain Road specify the restricted activites.
