After hiking at Dismals we fixed some sandwhiches and headed to Bear Creek for some kayaking. Bear creek is located in Marion county and the water flow is dependent on the Upper Bear Creek Dam. This means taht the creek is runnable during the summer when most of the creeks are to low. We chose to do the lower section from Rock Quarry to Military Bridge. This section has a few Class I-II rapids but is mostly a float trip. The upper section of the creek has more whitewater and a few waterfals you have to portage. Maybe next time.
We rented Michele's kayak from Bear Creek Canoe Run and they provided a shuttle so we could do a one-way float. My favorite things were: not having to paddle up stream, the beautiful scenery and canyon walls and ...running the rapids!
