Piney Put-in and other Beta

From Lesley S. : it's a 30 min shuttle. The put in and takeout are roadside. The put in is different from what's in Kirk's book. We used a different put in yesterday. Paved and gravel roads all the way. 27 to Payne Lane in Dayton TN, then stay right to merge onto Back Valley Road, then left onto Evensville Mountain Road, then turn right onto Wash Peffrey Road. Then put on at the bridge. Coordinates 35.623070, -84.969270.  There's an obvious stout hole and undercut at Hungry Jack rapid. It's easy to scout and walk.  There are also trees down here and there, so catch eddies and look before you leap. From Papabear A. 1) the put in is easy to find Go past the Gauge and up the hill , turn left afyer the stinging creek falls access. Its a dirt road keep following it to your left always, follow your nose to the 2nd bridge , thats the put in on moccasin creek. which you can google map but you want the dirt road soneone gated the paved road.  After the con...

Clear Creek

Clear Creek levels/beta From Kirk E.: Here's my thoughts on Clear Creek, having run it from 150-11,000 cfs: 150-250 - Yeah you can get down it, but it's marginally running. 250-350 - Still clearly damn low! 350-450 - Decent Low 450-700 - A good low, medium low at the upper end 700-1000 - medium 1200-2000 - medium high 2000-4000 - big water, totally different, still really good, it's high 4000-7000 - starting to really change, don't swim 7000-11000 - pretty damn scary, don't swim!!!! I wouldn't base Clear Creek's flow on anything (Oakdale,Lancing) other than the gauge on Clear Creek. That's all the info you need. While some folks have been around a while and are tempted to use Oakdale, we've had a Clear Creek online gauge for 15 years now. _____________________ I posted this: Using the Oakdale gauge 1000 is low but doable, 3000 is plenty, a lot of the Clear Creek rapids start washing out. Using the Lilly gauge, 200 is pretty low. If it gets over 1200 ...
