A) Old County A to primitive camp off FR510

USB (Upper South Branch) Pike is a very scenic paddle, with a few interesting fairly large drops. Drops include _Erratic Ledge, Split Falls, Horseshoe Falls, Double-Drop Dells._ Could be used as a 'warm-up' or 'chaser' for a run on the Four Falls Section of the North Branch, which is very nearby. Early season access to the take-out for this section can be problematic due to snow on the Forest Service roads. Again, the proximity of the various other runs on the Pike should ensure that you will not be totally 'skunked'. If you try for this reach, and find the road to the take-out impassible, try the Lower South Branch, Four Falls (North Branch), or the Yellow Bridge (main Pike). For those who may wonder, there is about 6.5 miles of largely uninteresting water (from a whitewater perspective) from the recommended take-out for the 'Upper South Branch' (this run) to the recommended put-in for the 'Lower South Branch". So, while it could be paddled, those looking to maximize their whitewater experience will do best to stick with these listed stretches.
