Description: This is the largest rapid on the upper portion of the Cheoah. It comes around the next bend from the lowhead dam beneath the pipe. At this water level, it is a very difficult rapid and one of the few on the Cheoah that are tough to scout from the road. Be sure to scout this one before you launch; otherwise, it may force you to "takeout" after being thoroughly hammered.
