Sabrina, Becky, Ben and I (Pam) went across the bridge to explore Center Creek today. We had heard from the locals that it is good fishing, and is quite canoeable.
Indeed, when we arrived, there were folks fishing. Looking down into the clear water, we could see lots of small fry, which means there must be big fryers! We also saw a really big tadpole. Probably going to grow up into a big bull frog.
I waded out into the water. Cooooooold! Brrrrrr. After I got over the initial shock, it was refreshing because it was starting to get pretty hot and humid outside.
Just west of the bridge, there is a little 'waterfall' which would be a fun obstacle to negotiate with a canoe.
Becky and Ben have decided to come back another weekend and canoe from Sarcoxie to Carthage to check out that whole section of river for floatability.
Very few people ever canoe Center Creek according to the locals. So, it would be great for the canoeist who wants to have a private float, look for wildlife of the natural kind and not the partying kind like on some of the busier rivers.
Stay posted for potential float trip offerings on Center Creek from Beagle Bay RV Haven & Campground, LLC.
