The Forest

Somewhere shortly after Bonecrusher, the creekbed drops into the karst/porous base rock of Sand Mountain.  If it's been awhile since it rained, you will lose quite a bit of water here.  There are large sinkholes in several spots.

Unfortunately from Bonecrusher to Bucks Pocket is around 2 miles.  Some III and III+ is in here, but after about a mile, you will find yourself boating through a thicket of saplings growing directly from the streambed.

This is where you will be punished if you are paddling less than 6 inches.  Still, it's usually possible to boat through this section without getting out anywhere.
