Description
This stretch of creek runs from White Shulphur Springs to the confluence of the Greenbrier River. Ideally you would like the gauge height to read a minimum of 3 feet. (You can find the gauge height at https://waterdata.usgs.gov/wv/nwis/uv/?site\_no=03182900&PARAmeter\_cd=00065,00060,62614,62615) There is a significant amount of debris in the creek from the 2016 flood in White Shulphur Springs. There is a mile stretch along the train tracks were there are old power lines and power poles in the creek bed. There is also a fair amount of metal throughout the creek bed as well.
