1.5 mile hike to put-in.
AFWS Current Rainfall Data for Caldwell
County.
Gauge 1835, Edgemont, is at the take-out for this section.
Upper Wilson actually starts above US-221 on Grandfather Mountain. Seldomly (if ever) run
it is just a pile of boulders all the way down to the confluence with Little Wilson. From
Little Wilson down to the traditional put-in for Upper Wilson (on the trail out of Gragg, NC) are
several more portages and lots of wood. If you are the adventurous type then run Little
Wilson from FR192 down to Wilson creek and run Upper Wilson down to Edgemont, NC

high water. Shortly after you put in, the action picks up and is fairly continuous. If you decide
to take out at Roseboro Rd., be aware that you will have portage several bridges.
Creek Trail at the trailhead. It has been cleared out and improved somewhat. I am not sure about
the status of parking in that little race off FR 45.
the "suburb" of Gragg, but it is not one of the "streets" with houses. It is a
gated road, but this is misleading since the gate is just out of sight of the main road. There is a
trout fishing sign by the gate. Hope this helps.
