Deer Creek
 | There are many put in and take out spots along the creek. A nice paddle is Eden Mill park down to Rocks state park. Put in by parking at Eden Mill Nature Center off of Gwan Grove rd. Take out at the parking area under the king and queen seats off 24 in rocks (by old consesion stand. Do not paddle further unless you are an accomplished paddler due to the immediate section after the take out. It is a fall line creaed shoot that drops about 35 feet over 100 yards and narrows to 1/3 original wifth. Not difficult but intimidating and surprising if not ready and has a potential pin spot below biggest drop.... |

Really made me jealous wishing I was in it. There was a decent system right after that, I decided I was not walking around all of the fun, boy did I almost make the biggest mistake of my life. I got stuck in a real fast current and could not really maneuver too well. I ran head first real fast into this rock. it felt like a car accident. I had to hold on when I hit. That's when my life started flashing in front of my eyes. an eddy came up over the back of the canoe. started filling the boat up, fast. I got about 4 inches in and I was only half way throu... |

| Where can I obtain daily water conditions, i. e. , water turbidity, debris conditions,water level, etc. For Lake Aldred. This summer's frequent storms have muddied local feeder streams to the extent that they are almost unfishable.
