Sounds like fun. How many times did you have to portage? Last time I was there, there was a lot of pretty big trees in the creek. I've wondered about floating it, but just haven't done it yet.

It was'nt too bad one tree I had to get out and lift canoe over then 2 that I had to go under just leaned forward.next time I'll see about going on thru to shoal creek just trying to decide how long it will take to places to take out.

I think the next take-out on Shoal Creek would be Smackout. It's right off of Hwy. 60 about a half mile before you get to the bridge, while traveling West. It's a pretty long float, generally, but with the water moving like it is it would probably be about a 6 hr. trip, maybe. Last summer my son's and I did it in 10 hrs., but we started upstream from Capp's at the next bridge.
