I have worked as a commercial guide some time now, living in the southeast. I call the Pigeon River home in the spring and summer months, and spend as much time playing on that river as working. This spring, thankfully, we have gotten a substantial amount of rain, and it seems as though a couple rapids have changed. The biggest change that has happened this season seems to be the bottom hole of Lost Guide, the first class IV rapid, about 3 miles from the put in. It seems that some rocks have moved, making the bottom of the rapid steeper, and also making the hole more of a hydraulic, and less of a wave. This has become a GREAT surf spot, for both kayaks and rafts, with a huge eddy on the river right side, just below the hole. Its easy to paddle into, and super easy recovery below the rapid. This has become the best surf spot on the Pigeon by far, hope everyone enjoys!!
