Trip Overview

My two teenage sons and I put in at Fairley Bridge Landing and floated to Hwy 26. No obstructions, medium current. We stopped on a sand bar for lunch. Saw a few pileated and red-bellied woodpeckers, ducks, buzzards, and one person. Beautiful scenery and incredibly peaceful. Very nice afternoon trip.

Boat ramps at Fairley Bridge Landing and Hwy 26.
Camping at FBL.

Directions:

Hwy 26 east from Wiggins to Deep Creek/Mars Hill Rd.
North on Deep Creek/Mars Hill Rd. to Benndale Rd.
