Description
Put in at Flat Rock (which is the takeout for the above section). To find the takout, drive downstream on Forest Home Drive. Make a right when you get to the first stop sign and cross to creek right. Make a left when you get to the second stop sign and take a left onto a bridge that crosses the creek (note that you can see the broken dam just upstream of this bridge). When you get to the next stop sign go straight. After you see Beebe Lake find somewhere (hopefully legal) to park. Beware of the campus police and their affinity for dispensing parking tickets. FYI: through all of these turns you're on Forest Home Drive. If you walk upstream from Beebe Lake (follow the trail across the the Sackett Foot Bridge) you can scout the waterfall (Lover's Falls). Runnable most of the Spring. 2 class V drops, one broken dam/sluiceway. Easy shuttle.
