- 26.2 Pulltite Spring and branch on right.
Just below this beautiful spring and branch, on the same side of the river,
are several other minor but interesting springs, one of which is the "Fire
Hydrant Spring" gushing from a small cave in the bluff. In the next three
miles there are several good gravel bars for campsites.
- 28.0 Boyds Creek on right. Possible campsites
in this area.
- 31.2 Alton Club on left.
- 33.7 Sinkin Creek enters on left. By putting
in at The Sinks, where the creek takes a short-cut through a hill via a
cave, 6.5 miles of the creek can be floated in good water. Gradient is 10
feet per mile.
- 35.2 Round Spring. Camping, large spring,
Round Spring Caverns, take-out or put-in.
- 43.5 Big Creek enters on left. Campsites.

one-quarter mile up creek on left.
