The river has changed alot since the remediation and is a great run. Says River Dog
This section of Twelvemile Creek in South Carolina is 1 miles long and it is classified as a class III section by American Whitewater. The starting location is a short drive from Anderson, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The wonderful Pickens County scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Twelvemile Creek have people |
coming here. This stretch is very short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. The Lay Bridge Road section is one of a few paddling sections in this river system. For all you camping people
| there are campgrounds nearby. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more.

If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
