Waypoints
Mooring point
807 ft
JUMP ROCK at the Zigzag
A popular spot for groups of kids to jump about 12 feet into the cool waters. The river zig-zags just beyond the jump-rock and can be quite a log-jamb on Saturdays.
Fountain
816 ft
MEDLOCK SPRING
This little spring boils out of an opening in the hillside to the right, just a few yards off a bend in the river.
Ruins
808 ft
WELCH HOSPITAL and SPRING
Monument
Park
Cave

CAVE SPRING
One of the most interesting landmarks along the upper Current River, paddlers can enter the cave on the right hand side, but must do so with strong paddle strokes. The current emerging from the cave is quite strong.
Waypoint
754 ft
JUMP ROCK
This bluff is across from a beach, which is also accessible by a dirt road. Ascending the hillside to the jump-off point is only for the nimble of foot. The drop into the cool water is about 20 feet.
Cave
737 ft
ROCK HOUSE CAVE
Worth ascending the riverbank, this cave is large enough to live in with a small prehistoric family of a band of outlaws. High ceiling and both a front and back door. http://currentriver.net/rock_house_cave.htm
Campsite
702 ft
CAMP 2ND NIGHT
A high beach with large gravel... not too easy on the air-mattresses or the knees when setting up a tent. Located between Sugarcamp Hollow to the north and Mill Hollow to the south. On the east side of the river, we had shade till mid-morning. We also had 2 very noisy and curious raccoons who began their visit while we were having dinner.
