River DescriptionThis is a hike up run, and unless you plan on firing up the huge and intense Kick Yer Dog Falls, Thunderhead is usually a better way to go. Still, if you are looking to do something different, hike a couple three miles up this creek for some rhodo in your face, wood riddled, eddy scramblin fun.Hiking up several miles yields non stop class 3-4 creeking with the last 3/4 mile sporting some serious drops. First is a cool multi tier waterfall series of around 20 feet, then the creek enters a tight little canyon. Right below a sticky 8 foot ledge is Kick Yer Dog Falls, a drop that looks like it was imported from the Raven's Fork Gorge. It is a twenty foot bouncy waterfall right into a super sticky five foot ledge hole, snaking right into a thirty foot slide with piton potential. The run out is in a hurry to say the least. Below here is class 4 with one slide rapid and then the final manky drop into the confluence with Thunderhead Prong. As always, wood is always moving around in streams like this, so keep your head up and the eddys in sight. StreamTeam Status: unverified

We planned on running this on the way back from tellico. Run off is really quick. Kick Yer Dog falls looks fun but the shelf above is really tricky looking and the bottom of the falls looks really undercut if you hit it wrong and a 50/50 chance of a BAD piton. At higher levels this would make a bad hole with a chance of a pin. The other drops look good to go. Edit

Looked at it the same day kirk ran it. There is <br />
about a mile of III-IV-ish boogie, with a double-<br />
tiered class V set of drops, above the really <br />
gnarly drops, but this section needs tons of <br />
water to run. It probably wont be running unless <br />
the half mile below Kick Yer Dog is really <br />
stomping.
