River Description

Put-In Turn onto Rt. take the first right. Park in the lot.

Take-Out Tuckasegee Outfitters is on the left of US 441 North. Park in the grass and let the owner know you're paddling.

The action picks up after the Rail Road Bridge. Look for mostly wave trains with a few holes scattered about. Good river for beginners at levels around 1500cfs. This level pads things out and covers a lot of flipping rocks, but in the event of a swim the "yard sale" is easily recovered. There are a few play spots along the way, but nothing to write home about.

Watch for floating debris. A kayaker was killed when he became entangled in a rubber belt, so be careful!
