SALIVATION CREEK
I'm able to hike again; took a brief look at a creek in a 195 feet per mile valley with an astounding 7+ square mile drainage area, meaning it should run often. It's a boulder garden; the drop below looks flatter than the six feet it is. The foamy spot is only about a foot and a half deep so I don't think a boat will vertically pin there. More scouting needed.

Re: SALIVATION CREEK
The drainage area is actually 10.8 square miles, making it one of the best fed steep creeks in Arkansas. I have not found any reference on the internet to it having been run before.

Could be wrong but I'm thinking that Mike is still "mining" up in Cleburne/Stone county area.

Re: SALIVATION CREEK
I don't like carrying/dragging my boat much, especially uphill; that would be necessary to take out as far as I have scouted. I don't want to scout down to another take-out area until after modern gun deer season ends (Jan. eighth) since there is a deer camp right along the creek.
I might have to walk parts of it. Dave Creek in Fairfield Bay is as steep, and I have run it, but it is much friendlier due to a lot of bedrock. Boulder piles are a different story.
