River Description
Dry creek has some decent rapids formed by boulders. It starts as class IV and flattens out to III
and IV until at then the end the river plummets. Class V rapids with all the usual components
adorne the riverbed. The steep part goes on for a fair whileincluding through a clearcut with
predictable log problems. Take out is at the boat ramp slightly upstream on Lake Guntersville. The
creek does not take much water to run compaired to others of this size on Sand Mountain.
