Topographic Maps: Knox

County Maps: Clarion

Description: High banks and rocky bottom. Rapids slowly increase. A great run below Interstate 80 with the gradient evenly distributed. [Reported 1993]

Difficulties: Many strainers, but they are now trees and jams, not alders.

Shuttle: To get to the put-in, turn east on State Route 208 in Knox, go 1 block and turn right/south on Township Road T396. Go 0.5 miles and turn left/east on Township Road T400. Put in where this crosses the creek. To reach the take‑out, return to Knox and go left/south on State Route 388. Turn left/southeast on State Route 3007 following signs for Interstate 80. Cross over Interstate 80 and continue on State Route 3007 to the Clarion River bridge at the mouth of the creek. Take out here or at the Township Road 423 bridge over the creek at the mouth.

Gauge: None.

Normal Wet Period: No available statistics on seasons. Since this section is tiny, it should normally be runnable only after a heavy rain or during spring snowmelt.
