River Description
Only one known descent. Length and gradient are estimations. Access at the put in is tenuous.
Reportedly, this is a steep, narrow wood-filled rollercoaster ride that empties into the Sandy. The
two guys who ran it are good friends of mine. One described the event as terrifying. The other, who
happens to be a sponsored paddler and is regularly regarded as one of the best in the Northeast,
called it a classic. If you're interested in finding out where you stack up, do your homework, find
an appropriate put in, and post a comment here for all to see.

Pisgah Mtn. rd.(no no trespassing signs at least).....certainly could be a great run with a bunch
of water and a little tree maintenance. Length and gradient seem about right as well. Looks like a
great day to run Center into the Sandy, then bust over to Kent Falls and run it from the top (which
is definitely possible with enough water/one questionable fall midway down that you REALLY need to
get to the left side of) and then finish up with a Bulls Bridge.......hope to be here someday when
the waters all comin' down! Edit
pond/swamp fed...When I ran part of it, Sandy was absurdly low and this thing was running at a fine
level.
drops of this run. We were running the Sandy at a low level -- really low -- and we got to this
creek and it was cranking, comparatively, so we started hiking up and ran a few drops. The first
was a funky, narrow winding 8 or so foot drop that fell off a 2-4 foot ledge at the bottom right
towards a rock sticking out (that is tough to dodge). The biggest drop we ran was a 10+ foot slide
into a pillowed rock above a narrow hole at the bottom. The runout into the Sandy was a little
funky -- channelized, a little bony, and had some wood in it. Looks like a great run, although I
haven't seen anymore than what I saw when I hiked up those drops. Can't wait to try it from the
top.
