Lower Salt Creek Logan Bottoms to Confluence of the East Fork of White River |
This stretch of Lower Salt Creek flows very well except during periods of drought (Sept. and Oct. in most years). This trip is especially interesting when plenty of water is being released from the Monroe Reservoir Dam. A major contaminated sediment (PCB's) remediation project is currently underway on the Pheasant Run tributary downstream of Peerless Bridge. It takes approximately 6-7 hours to get from the Logan Bottoms to the landing at the Old St. Rd. 158 bridge. From the Old St. Rd. 158 bridge to the confluence of East Fork of White River takes another three and a half hours - more or less. The last 1/4 mile of Salt Creek upstream of the confluence is excellent fishing along the limestone bluff for Kentucky spotted bass, rock bass, walleyes, sauger and assorted sunfish. At the confluence of Lower Salt Creek and the East Fork of the White River is an ideal campsite at the top of a fifty foot high bluff overlooking both streams. It is a bit of a dangerous climb with camping gear but worth the effort. This exclusive campsite is private property so be certain to notify MHAO of your desire to utilize it to gain access. |
