I was there Sat 8/15/2009 and it was very fast with a lot of flow. Then I went on Monday 8/17 at
lunch and it was a trickle...almost totally dry. Any info as to whether it is only dependent on
rainfall or if there are release times would be great. Email me at 77fj@comcast.net. -Andy Edit

I was just there today to scope it out. it was deppressing. there was absolutely no water running
through it. i went expecting to see some small rapids, but instead it couldnt even be compared to
the strength of a fosset on a sink. They need to let more water into that spot for us kayakers. I
need more water!!! email me if you learn something new. jasprice30@gmail.com Edit

Ran it this weekend, (the overflow, vice the Rae's creek waterfall.) Was fairly decent, the flush
of water knocked out some of the smaller natural refuse that could of posed problems. The rocks
still slam you into the river left wall near the bottom, lean in to it slightly or you will end up
scraping the mud with your face. Edit

just a friendly update, there has been a clean up effort down in this area to take out the broken
bottles, the plastic bags, the diapers etc.... So every time you go down there help us keep it
clean and keep it open for the kayakers, climbers, and people hanging around the swimming hole. The
train trussel construction is finished, and they removed some of the shoaled up rocks that lead
down into the Savannah River. The actual overflow itself has seen some build up of refuse, both man
made and natural, and needs to have a few good runs of water before it's runnable. (large logs, mud
stuck truck tires etc...) Edit

I have gone the past few days and noticed that they release late in the afternoon. By 7:30, it
isn't worth going. There is some construction on the train trussels that has been going on for a
few months.

This park and huck is located on the Augusta Canal pump station access road on the right just after
you cross the RR tracks. It usually runs when the canal is high. It can often be found running
after heavy rains and on high release weekends on the Savannah.
