SC 59 to Coneross Hydro Plant Park II-III(IV)
River DescriptionLike many other semi-urban rivers this short run can have poor water quality at times.Coneross Hydropark is essentially a small series of slanted waterfalls and ledges. The run is entirely a “destination boating” experience. Boaters must put in at the base of the dam or slightly downstream of the dam depending on the water level and if the dam is releasing water or spilling over. The rapids are river wide and multiple lines are possible. Most drops are easy class III but the final drop on river right is more difficult. This narrow slot drop can pin boaters. The takeout is downstream below the hydroplant. Boaters do not need to run shuttle and it is fairly simple to walk up the concrete flume to the top of the run. StreamTeam Status: verified

ran this section at 260cfs.....Lots of lines,but some were very scetch! Put in on river right just below the dam. I would stick to running river left to left center the whole way. DO NOT run right of the of the last slide... very dangerous slot with huge hole. Big hole developes at the center of the bottom slide at high water. Scout well and pick a safe line or things could get bad, at least at high water.
O yeah, and the water is pretty nasty. Edit
