White Oak Creek

The creek, named for the white oak trees that flank the shoreline along the course of the creek, is the site where Ulysses spent time playing and swimming as a young boy. Today, with its class II-IV (depending on the season and amount of rainfall) rating by American Whitewater, White Oak Creek is an excellent place for those looking to kayak, swim or walk along the banks, where Grant played nearly 200 years ago. Today the creek guides visitors into Georgetown on their way up St. Rt. 221.
