Nice mill dam on stones river
 
Anyone ever kayaked in this area? Thinking about going out there tomorrow.

We have floated from the Thompson Lane Greenway to Nice Mill. It is a nice trip, quiet and scenic, though you may have to portage over a few spots during low water. There is a very small weir dam at the water treatment plant for instance.

There's a video on Youtube of some guys doing whitewater there from February this year.

I'm interested in finding out about the navigability from Nice Mill to the East/West fork confluence. Looking on maps it seems like low water can be a problem.

Nice Mill to East Fork is a nice float. Get's a little slow the second half so get the paddle out! Even slower to the confluence. You'll have more of a problem Thompson to Nice Mill on low water than you will from Nice Mill on.

Put in there today and paddled upstream and fish a few spots. I've done it several times the last couple of years.
