Intersection of County Roads 43 and 56 to Bucks Pocket

South Sauty is pretty hard to beat, good continous action top to bottom. Plenty of steady class 3 and 4 action ending with your car in view and a hot shower just steps from the take out. Buck Pocket State Park is a great takeout. Please show your appreciation for this state park and donate a dollar or two for using the facilities. They use the money to help maintain the restrooms and keep the place up. Oh, by the way, if you need a shuttle, ask Bruce what you can do! Sauty is boatable at a wide range of flows.  There is a paddler's gauge at the take out which is the best indicator for whether the creek is runnable.  From the parking lot near the restrooms, walk straight down to the creek and look at the stick attached to a large tree.  There is a USGS gauge upstream of the put in which has a fairly reliable correlation to the stick gauge at the take out.  For a rough conversion use the formula (USGS reading in feet x 8.7) - 65 = stick level.  See the "flow info" tab for more detail on the ranges.
