Almost 11 miles if you count White’s Creek (It makes a long day)
Virtual Internet Gauge:CLICK HERE then look for White’s Creek and Piney River and for it to be high.
Semi-Directions:
After setting your shuttle at the Lower White’s Creek take-out head up highway 27 heading towards Rockwood, leaving from Spring City’s direction. At a junkyard (use this for your landmark) turn left and head up Hwy 70. Then while in the big town of Ozone, (pop. 50) you will see the Ozone Falls trailhead for Fall Creek, you have gone too far so turn around, most it seems blow by the actual put-in so this is why I mentioned it.
So coming from Rockwood you will cross the Tiney Piney put-in (Highway 70 crosses it and is the first bridge from leaving Rockwood) look for a railroad bridge for your landmark. Park here and use the railroad for your access point. This area is cool for parking, but at the confluence try to jet and paddle on to Lower White’s Creek. Landowner issues are becoming a problem due to encroachment.
From Brandon Hughett:
Please include on the website that we can no longer park under the railroad bridge. We now have to park on side of the road and walk (climb) down to the creek under the Hwy 70 bridge. The bridge is easy to find also since the state put up signs at both ends that say "Piney Creek." I got the feeling from the locals that they don't want us there. It's important to stay on state right-of-way and be respectful of the residents.

Whitewater
paddling is VERY Dangerous, and you should get
instruction before ever attempting even to paddle
flatwater. One of contributors to this web site
has personally helped bury 3 kayaking friends, this
isn't a joke. Whitewater paddling can ruin your
life through accidents and can effect your family
and friends throughout a lifetime.
The
information on this page is incomplete,
inaccurate, and very unreliable. Use
with caution. Whitewater paddling is a
dangerous sport and the information here is not a
substitute for actual knowledge and skill.
The authors are not liable for your actions. Go
ahead and kill yourself if you want to, but don't
blame others for you actions and decisions that you
will make on and off the river.
