This upper section of the 12 Mile Creek is a fairly relaxed paddle. A couple rapids on this
section will come alive during real high water. There is one 15' dam located just above SC 137
which can be easily portaged on the right. This dam services the Easley Central Water
District.
Double Drop at high water floods the island in the middle below the rapid, and makes some extremely sticky holes at the base on both sides of the island where it is normally a small drop.
The upper 12 Mile needs a greater flow than the lower section due to some long flat stretches.

Surf SpotOne of a half dozen or so small ledges on this river section which can form play spots if there's enough water. 500cfs.
Double DropA river wide ledge with a double drop on river left as the main line. There are many other possible routes, the ledge is wide and an island is right below the ledge - you can run either side of the island. The hole at the bottom of the double drop will get fairly nasty when the river goes into flood stage. Pictured at 500cfs.
