Some can sneak up, but most of these are negotiable. One is at the end of the pool at the bottom of the falls. JD reports on 3/6/04: Lotsa wood between CR 1386 & 1375, some riverwide. The connection is not shown in the Atlas and Gazeteer. The put-in road is actually on the same road as the put-in for Mill Creek, CR 1386 (Alvin Something? Rd) becomes Holmes-Drake Road as you drive north. Mark Coyle thought +/- 6" from this level is the sweet zone. I've heard of one run at 1' 2", and that was good. 6" is on the low side of medium but still fun. On the gauge, 0' was a bit of a guess and would be low indeed. This gauge makes judging the level a snap before even leaving the house. This run features an online Streambeam gauge, which is installed on the same structure (CR 1386 takeout bridge) as the old visual gauge and is calibated to read at the same scale. The paddle from there is flat and sometimes contains a few log jams, but takes only about 30 minutes. Watch for a rock towards the left side at the bottom. It is a pretty straight shot but could be a happening thing at high water. Finally, Carpal Tunnel rapid is just above the tunnel under the railroad tracks. The action is fun all the way to the railway. At some levels it requires a ferry above a drop on river left with a hidden potential pinning rock. The 'Enema Within' is probably the trickiest. Above or around 1', the hole at the falls must be treated with respect.īelow CR 1375, the gradient picks up with a couple honest III's and one possible III+. Several more II's and II+'s are found between the falls and the CR 1375 bridge. It is not too difficult, though a curler from the left can cause problems. This is a fun run if you catch it with enough water.ġ0' Vinemont Falls is about 1/3 mile below the CR 1386 bridge. Therefore, I recommend you use the CR 1386 bridge as the put-in. If you put in at CR 1442, you will encounter 1.4 miles of flat water, class I/II, and a couple large log jams above the CR 1386 bridge. East Fork Flint creek is generally Class II with a few nice exceptions. "LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!
