River Description
Majority of this land is owned by The Wilds, a christian camp. Access is extremly limited & monitored by camera. There are several large waterfalls that could be ran. There are also several that would be mandatory portages. You can see part of the creek if you hike the foothills trail but that section isn't worth the trouble of hiking there.
River Features
Put In
The Shoals
Looks to be a really nice slide type rapid. Probably 50-60ft in length.
Taper Falls
30ft angled slide type waterfall. Does have bit of a shelf on river right. Could probably be ran if access is granted.
Boushell Falls
About a 25ft drop with some cascades below. Named after the moonshiner who drowned here back in the day.
Luner Falls
A 60ft drop followed by a 40ft drop both onto a shelf....if that wasn't enough a 125 footer is just around the corner
Great Falls
Would be a mandatory portage if access is ever granted. Listed at 125ft tall

From Leland on Boatertalk:
the toxaway river is supposed to be good.
toxaway creek is a total waste of time and effort. did it a few years ago and it was tons of flat, a huge portage or two, and a lot of lake. it sucked.
