The provided link just marks Smithton and as I'm not at all familiar with that area I need more detailed information.

Status: offline 		Once in Smithon follow the river towards the town/village of Jacobs Creek on river road.  The river will be on the right of you when driving.  The Eureka hole is about 1/2 mile up this road.  There is a train track crossing on your left and and a parking area on the right (slate dump).  This is the hole.

This is not a private event by any means.  The more the merrier in my opinion.

If not familar with Smithton then here is how to find river road.  Coming from rte 51 cross over the smithton bridge.  Stay on that road till you come to the only major intersection.  Huss Chiropractic is on the left along with a Lutheran church in front of you to the left.  Make a right at this 4 way (you dont have a stop sign).  Follow that through the next stop sign and cross the tracks.  This starts river road.

If coming from Rte 70 once in Smithton just stay on main street through 2 stop signs and cross the tracks.  This starts river road.

I would suggest either chest waders or just plain old shorts and sneakers.

I will say this my buddy had some while we were camping a month ago and fell into the fire! It is some of the highest octane that I ever have had! Just a fair warning to everyone!

I was at Eureka from 3 to 6 pm yesterday.... tough sledding.  Used crawlers, but was wishing I had shiners.  Gonna be a tough go for you guys if this heat stays through the weekend.  On a good note, the water level was surprisingly good considering the recent dry stretch.

What time is everyone getting there.  Or is it only going to be 71GTO, Mossy Oak, and myself.  I even have my doubts on Mossy Oak. lol

I actually couldn't give him an honest mileage by river, but I'd guess maybe what 4 miles between bridges (Smithton and W. Newton ) ?
