Big Pipe Creek flows peacefully through a markedly rolling countryside of woodlands and well-kept dairy farms. On this route you will be rewarded with some beautiful old mills as well as the good scenery of farms, fields, and woods. The gradient is mild and there are no difficult rapids, in fact, the water is mostly smooth with the exception of a few well-spaced gravel bar riffles. Some occasional hazards may include fallen trees, barbed wire fences, beaver dams, and some wandering channels. Just below Route 832 is a low-water bridge that is most often portaged and a six-foot dam at Otterdale Mill. This route is runnable in spring or winter within two days of hard rain.
