Run: Wolf Creek

Section:

Class: IV (V) Put-In: CR 49

Gradient: 200 Take-Out: CR 47

Length: 1.5 Precip. Gage: Blue Pond (AL power)

Shuttle: CR 49 / CR 43 / CR 47 Delorme Gazeteer: P. 27 C6

Water Q: Primary Gage: Put-In Bridge

Links: TOPO MAP Required Level: 1.7'

PICTURES Indicator Gage: LRC (USGS/ Rt. 35 bridge)

TRIP REPORT Required Level: 4000-6000 cfs / 2-3'

Notes:

Tight, fun, and short. You put in a farmers field, float/scrape for 0.5 mile, then scout, walk, and/or run the big class V. You will, or at least better, not miss the big one. As seen in Steep Creeekin and Tales of the Paddlesnake videos. The rest of the way is tight III and IV. Be courteous to landowners. The USGS internet gage is reading differently than the Alabama Power phone gage (1 800 LAKES11, 6, 2, 2), due to more accurate USGS surveys. However, the above correlation is to the old AL power readings. As with any small watershed, the required LRC level depends a lot on how long ago the rain fell.
