River Description

Long easy trip for some fun in a canoe or a playboat when it is in flood.
Some waves and holes here and there, but mainly flat moving water except for the still hole at Millers Yard after the Guest and Little Stony confluences with the Clinch.
If you paddle from St Paul, you can stop at the first major tributary on RR and a short distance upstream is a nice waterfall. But don't drag the boats, it is unrunnable. Unless you're stoopid. This falls lands on rocks and in a 12" deep pool. Not going to happen, don't care who you are.
Makes for a good photo tho.

There is a semi-submerged snag at the bottom of the big ledge just downstream of the Rt 58 bridge in St Paul. The snag is in the center-left portion of the main chute in the middle of the river. The snag is not visible from upriver until you are entering the rapid. I saw this snag during the last week of May 2008, could not tell how extensive it is because only a little of it poked above water. Zack Fields Edit
