This is the Big Creek in Stokes County, NC that feeds into the Dan River where Highway 89 and Lynchburg Road meet. It takes a lot of rain to get the creek up to a workable level, but it has a nice gorge section with two fun rapids, Mill Rapid and Loop de Loop. Mill Rapid really takes on a different flavor at higher flows. When the Dan River's Francisco gauge reads 2 feet, it's a class III. When the gauge reads 2.5 feet, it looks like a Class IV to me. A problem however is that there isn't a place to enter the river. The land owner at the only place the river nears Forrest Road does not permit you to cross his property.
