It is also nonstop action(no flatwater... none) for the entire run. Give the last mile on Island Creek a shot of steroids, throw in several class five drops, a 17 and 50 foot waterfall, a couple classic slides, and you have Laurel Creek. Myself and two other gentlemen paddled it(I had been looking at it for awhile), and then down to the takeout of Whites Creek.   The landowner was waiting when we came back to the putin, and was a little angry. After talking for awhile, he granted permission to me and only me to use his land to access the river. It seems as though some waterfall hikers have left his gates open. He also said that any other trucks than my dirty dodge with the  Cumberland Co. tags would be towed.  I will post some pics soon and give a much better overview of the run if you would like to check it out just inquire at  jaowen21@gmail.com. If I can't make it you can borrow my truck or I will assist in a hot kayak assault. This is one of the highest quality runs I have paddled (and a serious step up from the other micros in the area) on the Plateau.... so lets not mess it up.  PS: Wood is an issue currently, but not a deal breaker by any means. I plan on cleaning it out soon.
