Soddy Creek

Soddy Creek can be run when the Chick is high, BUT BEWARE it is probably the most dangerous run

on the ridge, it seems everything is undercut. Even the fun rapids have penalty points, and the mentality

on the this run is not if, but when. Soddy can also be run VERY LOW, the undercuts are more exposed,

but when others aren't running this one will be. If it looks boney at the take out, you can still run it. A

strong group with rescue skills is needed for this run. You need more that a throw bag to be safe. I always liked a strong group that you could count on. This is a good one to be in the mindset it's okay to walk

some, get the run dialed in first then come back. Memorizing the lines on this one is very helpful. Did I mention it was undercut? Think Fist on the Russell Fork, and you get the idea

Whitewater paddling can ruin your life through accidents and can effect your family and friends throughout a lifetime.
