Since we have had no water this season, I scoured all the ledges of the Dar Drop for rebar and metal studs. I got several including three from the top drop, one which has tagged my boat in the past. Also there are metal beams at the bottom of the pool about were the speed trap hole forms at high water. No problems unless you are being recirculated in the hole (which is a totally violent experience.) Two thirds of the way through the pool at the bottom of the entire falls has sheet metal in it from the pipes that once carried water to the pump house at the pool. For water levels, generally if the chattooga is @ 3 ft or less I park and only run the Dar Drop, higher than that the slides down stream start to also get fun. At real high water, @ 6 ft or so on the chattooga big holes form throughout the rapid, and it is one long fun mess. Scout all ledges for wood at higher flows. Matt West
