The put-in is easy to find. Look on your Tennessee Gazetteer on Page 41 for Ozone Falls. Use it for your base mark. From there look for Dogwood Road.   Shuttle:   Your takeout will be the same takeout for White’s Creek on Hwy 27 , from the there go up the road heading towards Rockwood, (from Spring City) then turn left onto Hwy 70, the junkyard will be your landmark. Then drive up the mountain, once on the mountain in the community of Ozone start looking for a left turn.   From Jay Wright:   "From spring city drive up 70 towards ozone, after crossing Mammy's creek start looking for dogwood rd on left. Take dogwood and put-in is first bridge you come to. There is a pull off and good parking.   On those SAME directions, same as before, if you get to ozone falls you missed it. Or if coming from Nashville take Crab Orchard exit, turn right onto 70 and drive to ozone falls. Dogwood is approx .3 miles from falls."                                          These pictures are taken from Hwy 70 heading towards Crossville :                                                                                         Take a right here         Move your mouse around on the map                                             View Larger Map   Link: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=TN-29+S%2FUS-27+S%2FRhea+County+Hwy&daddr=Dogwood+Rd&hl=en&geocode=FWAhIgIdXr7y-g%3BFXjWIgIdshDy-g&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=13&sll=35.830618,-84.79454&sspn=0.107582,0.154324&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=13     PRINT THIS OFF FOR YOUR SHUTTLE:   Special thanks to Randy Hale of North Geographic   http://northrivergeographic.com/wrww/OzoneFallCreek.       Here is a picture of the put-in.          All Photo's courtesy of Jen Shearer          All Photo's courtesy of Jen Shearer       I hope you get to enjoy this run though, it’s remote, the scenery is pristine .     History: Fall Creek is a  small tributary of White's Creek outside Spring City, Tennessee.

You can only access it at public access points. Hence why we use bridges on public roads.  Scouting, you only scout in the flood plain/river bed of the creek and do not enter their property.  It's best to be friendly with the local owner and let him know we are only their during peak run-off and we want to help him protect his land. If problems persist, get a shuttle bunny so you don't leave your vehicle unattended.
