Lollars Creek - Good Rec Boat Run

[Regud]

My buddy has been scouting this creek. I was wondering if anyone has run it?

Nobody's run that one as far as I know. It's not too far off the beaten path though - I remember driving up there many years ago - it's entirely possible someone has run it. We looked at creeks in that area in the 90's but private land issues generally got in our way in terms of accessing anything worthwhile.

Good luck with it,
Fish

Thanks Fish!

I have not driving out there yet, but supposedly there is a good access at two bridges. The water shed looks to be pretty big, similar to the middle fork.

We ran 7.4 miles of it today. It is mainly class I with a handful of class II drops. It was a beautiful creek with tall bluffs and waterfalls. We also saw 30 + deer crossing the creek.

The stretch we did would be good for rec boats with an easy shuttle

It is hard to gauge the level, but the White Near Fayetteville gauge should be at least 6 for a low run.

Very cool that you ran this. My mom was born and grew up very near there, and it's POSSIBLE that this creek may have been navigated by the Car Hood Boat, which was also born right near there.

Randy- you are probably right. I bet your uncles did run this creek.

Here are some pics from the run

This is upstream from where we put in. Could be fun at a much larger level.
