2. Base of the mountain turn

This majestic area at the base of the mountain creates a hard left turn in a deep pool. There may be a few rocks to contend with, but you should do fine.

3. Lazy float

Hardly any current in this slow part of the creek. This area has its deep pools also. I once saw a bald eagle is this area. Take your time here and take in the sights.

4. 1 of 2 Dellville Road bridges

First of the two newly built Dellville Road bridges. There was a log jam at the middle pier for the longest time, but it has since been removed. There are 3 large rocks just above the middle pier in the bridge. Stay left as you approach the bridge.

5. Haas Drive & Second Dellville Road bridge

Welcome to Haas Drive & the Second Dellville Road bridge. You will want to exit creek left just before the bridge.
