Teanaway
Teanaway Photo by Thomas O'Keefe @ 1100 cfs River DescriptionThe season for this run is generally April and May. It sometimes runs into June but generally tapers off by the end of the month. Because it's class II, this river is often overlooked with so many options in the spring but its a great run for instruction with some fun playspots to keep everyone happy as it flows through east side agricultural land. Over the course of the run there are a number of sandstone ledges that form great surfing waves that are the perfect size to learn on. Stay alert for wood hazards which shift from year to year.

As of spring 2007 the run was clean of wood aside from a few hazards along the side that were possible to avoid.

It's also possible to put in on the Middle Fork or West Fork. The Middle Fork tends to get a lot of deadfall. The West Fork is entertaining, as most of the channel is through smoothly-eroded rock - it's like a big waterslide. The main problem with the West Fork is access, as it goes through private land. If you put in above the campground, be aware that there will probably be a tree across the river right after you put in.

In early summer 2002, there were a couple of big trees down on the main Teanaway, but there was plenty of time to get to the side, even at moderately high flows. None of the logjams we encountered in the farm areas were a problem. The obvious braids were all runnable.
