River Description


Very Steep.
Driving upstream, put in just below the first bridge crossing where there are a number of class 5-6 waterfalls. The section above this is known as the Garden of the Gods. Last checked the Garden of the Gods stretch was still unrun.

Chris Bell's Asheville Area Boating Beta Page probably has the best info on the run.
