Upper North Fork Salt Creek Adventures |
Between Brown County State Park in Nashville, Indiana and the Monroe County line at Brummett's Creek Landing is the Upper North Fork of Salt Creek. This trip is only possible in the early season, as past the first of August it is too low to navigate. The upper reaches are relatively swift from Nashville to Dubois Ridge Bridge in Yellowwood State Forest. There are two major log jams to portage on this stretch. From Dubois Ridge Bridge downstream the creek meanders through bottomland picking up Jackson Creek discharging from the Yellowwood Lake Dam and then going through Belmont and on to the Stillwater Marsh upstream of Lake Monroe. Several log jams must be portaged on this stretch as well. |
