This run is much better broken into sections. I usually go from the dam on Saluda Dam Rd down to Hwy 81. There is a strip shopping center on river left that has public river access and is a great take out spot. If you put in at the dam and take out here this run is about 7 miles and takes 3-1/2hrs. There are several shoals and one set of class II rapids. There are portages on this run and the river flows smoothly at a slow pace the entire stretch.

A friend and I ran this section back in January. From Saluda Dam to I-85 is a nice run, with small shoals and moving current. From I-85 to SC 86 is very slow moving, almost like a lake. Also, I double checked the mileage and it is more like 25 miles. It took us over 4 hours of paddling, and that was in Pyranha Speeders paddling hard most of the way.
