We basically wanted to show what was the easiest to the hardest to run. The list is shoehorned. Some of the creeks are borderline on where they should be, and were dropped down in classification to fit in a slot, especially when considering their water levels, time of year and what gives them the extra warranted risk of a higher classification i.e. (Gradient, volume, risk of life, rescue access etc.) This is a list to use as a BASELINE ONLY, for better clarification please read the individual creek descriptions by clicking on their links.     Class III (and up)   Big Fiery Gizzard Creek    Little Fiery Gizzard Creek   Class IV (and up)       Big Brush Creek        Class IV.5 (and up)   Hicks Creek (Stone Coal Bank/Kelly Creek)   Pocket Creek   Savage Creek         Class V (and up)     Coal Bank (Hick's Creek) Griffin Creek Little Brush Creek   Woodcock Creek          The Sequatchie Valley Creeks    We felt that the Sequatchie Valley Creeks were orphan kids of the Walden's Ridge runs, since it was " a ridge over" and  they needed a good home. So we made a page for them. They don't get paddled that much , mainly most of them have a lot of limestone in the valley , great for  cavers but it sucks for paddlers. Most go underwater , until sufficient water fills the river beds. Even in great years of rain, it was easy to get skunked, due to the sinkholes of most of the runs. But well worth the trouble if you caught them with enough water.       Btw the picture above is Kirk Williams kickin' arse on Middle Creek,        and yes that is a cave he is handpaddling into!

As we try to capture details of the rapids and creeks, remember that they have been there for generations before we “discovered” them for ourselves.   If you happen to a take an interest in this section, please report back through the feedback on your experiences and recommendations.
