Oak Creek to run it. The most beautiful class II run I know of...probably the most beautiful run on
the Cumberland Plateau.
and from there down it is a fun canyon to run. After the confluence with Clear Fork River, the
water moves fast and there are a few good Class II rapids. Yes the flat paddle to the canyon is
very long, but the canyon makes up for the flat paddle in. Charlie Wilkerson, TSRA Edit
Down toward the confluence with the Clear Fork--sometimes called the Meeting of the Waters--there's
a beautiful gorge section where sandstone cliffs come all the way down to the water. The scenery
alone makes it well worth doing.<br>

I've only run this once, at about 1,000 cfs on the Clear Fork near Robbins gauge. At that level, I
would rate the long slide rapid at the beginning of the gorge section class III. It's a very
substantial drop, and the section that follows is extremely consticted. I would think that very
high water levels could push this area up to class IV and perhaps beyond.
