The Hiwassee is only runnable with either a release or in the aftermath of a heavy rain. For the release schedule, please check
the TVA Appalachia Dam release
schedule
Flow levels are usually refered to as "units" releasing from the dam. A "1
Unit" release could be considered
minimum (depending upon your
tolerance for scraping on rocks) with "2
Units" as the normal release for
recreational whitewater.
