Anthony Creek (Neola to Greenbrier River)
Description:
Anthony Creek is a good novice kayak run with maneuvering around rock gardens and tight turns. The beginning of the run passes farmland, while the last six miles flows through a more remote forested area. Higher water can produce class II+-III conditions. The take-out at the Greenbrier River requires an upstream paddle or a hike to the bridge/parking area.
- Class I-II+, 15 miles
- River Level - Currently the gauge for Anthony has not been interpreted for whitewater levels.
