Overview:
This about as high up in the Daddy's Creek watershed as you can, it even has a mini-gorge it in.
It's a beautiful float I call it a float, because the bottom section is brutal, trees are in
bottom section, and they are big so pack light, and take a canoe. A whitewater kayak in here
would be a waste, this is a scenic trip. I take my aluminum canoe here.
Try to see it as soon as you can, more and more land is starting to be developed around the
area. Before long it will lose its personality . The smallmouth fishing is fantastic in this
section.
Note: Only use this as a float at low water. If above 3500 start thinking more in the terms
of taking your whitewater boat.
It changes its personality and has speed, and the benign rapids which are there turn more into
whitewater.
