Ran this with a group of 5, September 24, 2006. Level was ranging between 3.5 and 4.5' according to the graph. More difficult than the Nantahala, less difficult than the Middle Ocoee. More like a river and less like a creek at that level. Take a good look at the rapid by the highway bridge, there is bad stuff on the left but the rapid can be run down the right with a couple of boofs. You may need to ask permission from a land owner to take out in the edge of town.
As of September 2001 the USGS gauge is back on the web!!

The US Forest Service is organizing a river cleanup on Tennesse's Annual River Clean Up on Saturday, March 08, 2008. Last year’s clean up saw over 200 participants and nearly 2 tons of trash was collected along TellicoRiver, North River and the North Carolina OHV Area. This event is being sponsored by the USDA Forest Service, Trout Unlimited, Chattanooga Trout Association, American Whitewater, and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Log into the American Whitewater website and you can contribute to river descriptions, flow and access tips, and maps associated with runs you've done. You can even add new runs to the inventory!
