Middle Fork of Little Beaver Creek

TCT,

Has anyone in the club (or others who are reading this) paddled sections of the Middle Fork of Little Beaver Creek upriver of Teegarden? I am interested in hearing about water levels, extent of strainers, access issues, low water bridges, parking at put ins/take outs, junk yard dogs, friendly and unfriendly property owners, etc....the whole nine yards. The stream suffers from contaminated sediment along this stretch from the days of Nease Chemical when Mirex and other chemicals found their way into the water. Some remediation was done on the site of the chemical plant, but I'm not sure to what extent contaminated stream sediments may have been dredged. Any information about paddling the stream, hazards, and access would be appreciated. Thanks.
