Description
From the put in there is also access at CR 14 bridge a mile downstream and at CR 3 bridge just upstream of the steep section. This last mile below the CR 3 bridge contains the maximum gradient(160'/mile) and the hardest rapids including a two-stage 35' waterfall known as Brush Creek Falls. From the bridge there is a trail following river right that leads to the falls. At the confluence with the Bluestone River it is either a 3/4 mile carry upstream on river left to Eads Mill or a 10 mile paddle to the tramway at Pipestem State Park or a twenty mile paddle to Bluestone State Park.
