Paddler's Gauge: Is at the Clifty Bridge on river left. Please see our flowpage for correlations. This is where we keep it updated. Here is the last update We will not update this chart. We only update our flowpage.   Thank you Rob Maxwell for this estimated correlation this is based off of the Calfkiller gauge. 150 cfs =(1.22 ft-650 cfs=1.47 ft =Low)  (750 cfs=1.52 ft- 950 cfs=1.62 ft = Med) (1100 cfs=1.69 ft- 1600 cfs=1.94 ft = Med-High) (1650 cfs=1.97 ft- 2100 cfs=2.19 ft = High)   Thank you Rob Maxwell for this estimated correlation this is based off of the Daddy's gauge.   (300 cfs= 1.23 ft-570 cfs=1.44 ft=Low) (580 cfs= 1.45ft- 730 cfs= 1.57 ft=Med-Low) (740 cfs=1.58 ft-1190 cfs =Med-High) (1200cfs =1.95 ft-1500cfs= 2.19 ft=High)     Level Needed Once the Creek is filled up,1/2 inch of rain is needed. Daddys Creek is above 500 or more Calfkiller needs to be at 5.5 feet or higher. Our flowpage is wired and dialed in for this run. We usually run this right after the North Chick drops out.   This run use to SUCK and it wasn't the paddle that sucked, it was the shuttle and rednecks. Things have gotten much much better. Scott 's Gulf Road to the Bee Creek confluence is now graded and graveled to within 200 yards of the bottom thanks to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. This use to be a Class 7 shuttle, and you took your life into your own hands trying to drive in or out at the takeout. The putin was a guaranteed way to get your car remodeled. Firestone Company use to own the land and gave the land to the State of Tennessee. This has been a blessing.   Okay the best time to get in there is December-April while the hunters aren't in there. Its now a wildlife management area. If in doubt contact the local TSRA Wildlife office so you don't mess things up.   The Caney Fork would run more if it weren't for all the caves. The Caney is similar to South Sauty in Alabama and it requires the same skill set too. The caves must be filled up first or the creek is a no-go. Note if it hits the fan keep and eye on river right there is a trail on the right.               cubanpaddler   The  Put-in: The put-in is at Clifty Bridge accessed off Hwy. 70 near De Rossett/Pleasant Hill The take-out: The take-out is on river right just below the Bee Creek junction.   Shuttle: Remember to always use I-40 and Hwy 27 as your base guideline to get your bearings.   Use your mouse to move the map around to see it better                                                                                                                              View Larger Map   Scott Gulf Rd and Eastland Rd 9.0 mi   Scotts Gulf Rd Bon De Croft, TN 38583     1. Head west on Scott Gulf Rd toward Wes Johnson Rd       2.4 mi   2. Turn right at Eastland Rd       4.7 mi   3. Turn right at Clifty Rd       0.1 mi   4. Take the 1st left to stay on Clifty Rd       1.6 mi   5. Turn right at Vanwinkle Cemetery Rd       0.2 mi   6. Continue onto Clifty Rd       46 ft Clifty Rd TN       The run:   The first 3/4 miles of it is flatwater with a rapid or two mixed in.       Trailer Trash: Is the first major rapid its a couple of holes. Its nice playspot.   Class III  Boogie section: Just like it says.   Devil's Kitchen: You will see a distinct horizon line, scout it on river left. Its straight forward and you will see your line once you scout, please scout my last two trips in there had trees. The best line is on the left and to keep working left.   Copper Cascades: Is where Copper Creek comes in, its a nice boulder garden section and it is my favorite part of the run.   You will paddle more rapids and hit another gorge this paddle section is a about 8 miles long and its the part that will tire you out.   Eye of the Needle. Scout it the run it down the middle.
