Buck Creek is a great run for some whitewater. If you want to run the whole creek, start at the CJ resevoir and paddle down to Snyder Park for a 5 mile stretch. All together there is about 10 drops to run and possibly surf at the right levels. After the creek combines with the tributary creek, you’ll go through some splashy water before hitting some limestone shelves, stay river left at the first drop. The Stadium wave is fun and surfable at around 2.75-3.5ft. You can drive there as well and park and play. Next is the art museum which has 2 kayak holes but not very good for surfing a sup. Another 3/4 mile you will reach Snyder Park where there is the last 4 drops.
