Exploratory Creeking: Long Swamp Creek

[@alexedl7538]

That rapid with the rappelling portage looked cool, too bad about the wood. Thanks for posting.

[@SouthernYak]

Agreed- we hated to see the wood in the drops! Can’t wait for it to be clear and able to be run without wood. Thanks for watching.

Class IV portage

Awesomeness. Great footage. Boof!!

[@SouthernYak]

Haha thanks and yes to the booof!! 🤠 thanks for watching.

@@SouthernYak I need to get a shorter boat. I have a Jackson Traverse. Its 10'-4. I'm used to getting it in tight creeks and it boofs ok. A smaller boat would be cool. How do you like that Gnarvana?

Great video. Know ya'll had a great time that day. Not so many years ago, going down new creeks was just like that. Get out and scout, before USGS internet gauges vs paint marks on local bridge pilings, looking at he river currents for the best path to take, much easier today, especially for new paddlers. Should have run that twice. One summer myself and another kayaker spent 3 days hiking down a creek and cutting the wood out. I still bring my breakdown bow saw with me on creek trips.

Great vid. Thanks!!

[@DownstreamV]

Love these types of days! Just getting out and seeing what is out there! Cool video!

[@SouthernYak]

For sure! It’s so fun to run new and relatively unknown stuff…throw in some falls and it’s even better! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching!

[@MichaelChanslor]

Awesome! Nice drop at 8:45 - Thanks for sharing!

[@SouthernYak]

[@TheJbugbee]

[@matthammer3289]

That’s pretty sweet

[@SouthernYak]

Matt!! Thanks for watching- you’d love this run!!

[@parrishroberson8514]

Been trying to get my buddy joe to do this one with me for years! Last time I hiked it it was even more full of wood…

[@SouthernYak]

Yeah the wood situation is legit! 😵‍💫

[@parrishroberson8514]

Did u take out at the dam?

[@SouthernYak]

Essentially yes but just upstream the river forks and we took the left fork and avoided the low head dam.

[@rickkkclunk9799]

always wanted to do this one. knee went out before I had a chance.
