> Like
Lockatong Cr., this Creek has very similar geology to the
Tohickon across the river in Pa. Also, like the Lock, Wickecheoke Cr. dumps its gradient in larger chunks.

> There are two put-in options. You can put-in at the Locktown Rd. bridge, or you can put in at, or just downstream of the Kingwood-Locktown Rd. (labeled Gessner Rd. on the topo map) bridge. The lower put-in will cut off about .25 miles of flat moving water.

> The two take-out options are: The Green Seargent Covered Bridge. or continue down to the Prallsville Mill on the Delaware and Raritan Canal just North of Stockton.
>
> \\*\\* If you continue down to the mill, don't blunder over the spillway on the side of the canal nearest the Delaware. At high water the canal spills over a 4-5' high, sloping, low-head dam which creates an awful hydraulic.

> In between the put-in and take-out, the river runs over dozens and dozens of ledges of varying shapes and sizes.

> The biggest pair are in between Locktown and Old Mill Rd. One is about 20 yds downstream of the other. They are both about 8' tall. The first is a chunky series of steps, and the second is a clean drop. Scout these from river-left, the landowner on river-right isn't real friendly and river right is his back yard. As with any ledgy stream, there is some good play at the right levels.
