Upper Claybaugh Creek [ back ] |
|
| Location: |
Iron County, approx. 6 miles south of Ironton USGS TOPO: Ironton Quadrangle [ map] |
| Difficulty: | Class IV-V |
| Put-in/Take-out: |
The put in is located about 1/2 mile before the end of Hwy CC. Just walk off the south, left as you get there, side and the creek is only
1/4 of a mile from the road. The take-out is located on Hwy. 21 just past Royal Gorge. |
| Description: | This creek has never been run. Here's a first decent for those of you who want that notch on your helmet. But be careful. This may be the hardest in Missouri. I've only scouted it once and it looked mean without any water. There's one 50+ft. waterfall that looked unrunnable, but who knows. Also you will need a lot of water for this creek has a small watershed. |
