Recreational paddling - this is a beautiful wilderness-feeling run that is suitable for a long single day paddle or a pleasant overnighter, though more and more of the property along the banks is being posted. It ends in Carter's Lake so that last few miles are arduous paddling and the take-out becomes a very welcome sight! Mountaintown Outdoor Expeditions may offer service for Talking Rock, P.O.
