Description
Lower Second Creek is a Class I-II run with a nice micro-gorge containing cliffs and boulders in the 2 miles ending with Hokes Mill covered bridge.  The first couple of miles downstream from Hwy. 219 are pastoral and can have more strainers, so Patton or Nickels Mill might be a good alternative putin.  You can take out at the Greenbrier confluence (Hamilton Rd.).  You can scrape down around 1.0 on the staff gauge but a decent minimum for the lower section is probably 1.3 or 1.4.
