River Description
This is a great run either at a creeky level or with a lot of water. The entire run is road scoutable. Please check for wood on your way to the put-in. The put-in is four bridges upstream. Start counting bridges after you pass the commercial put-in. If you start to see large class five looking drops and waterfalls, you've gone too far upstream and reached the Nantahala Cascades. There is a big turnout just before the bridge for shuttle and unloading boats. Please be thoughtful when parking if it is busy. The lot can accommodate many more cars if parked side by side instead of parallel. The Forest Service has been monitoring the lot on busy days so please do your best to keep the lot clean.
