Level Check: Use the North Chick to base off of. The headwaters of the North Chick are as the crow flies its right over the ridge.

Virtual Internet Gauge:  CLICK HERE  then look for Suck Creek and for it to be high.

 

History:

 There isn’t much history known here on who the first was and who pioneered what…hopefully over time we will learn more.

Overview:

 

North Suck can add mileage to the regular Suck Creek run, but plan for a longer day. It isn’t paddled much due to the lack of easy access to the headwaters and it helps makes the confluence for the popular Suck Creek run, so it is usually hard to catch and needs more water due to being a smaller watershed, and a feeder stream.

 

The run is very similar to Big Possum up the road, if you don’t count not having easier access and the rapids being harder. I know that probably didn’t make sense but it’s the best way to describe it, in that the rapids are okay but right next door, higher quality runs can be had on South Suck Creek, and on Suck Creek . Or you can even head over and run Mullens Creek. Also close to the area is Middle Creek which is not for the faint of heart. The best way to run North Suck Creek is to hike up taking your time scouting while you Billy Goat heading up stream.

 

***Warning label***

Whitewater paddling is VERY Dangerous, and you should get instruction before ever attempting even to paddle flatwater. One of contributors to this web site has personally helped bury 3 kayaking friends, this isn't a joke. Whitewater paddling can ruin your life through accidents and can effect your family and friends throughout a lifetime.

The information on this page is incomplete, inaccurate, and very unreliable.   Use with caution.  Whitewater paddling is a dangerous sport and the information here is not a substitute for actual knowledge and skill.  The authors are not liable for your actions. Go ahead and kill yourself if you want to, but don't blame others for you actions and decisions that you will make on and off the river.
