Wasn't real sure about this run, being that not much information has been recorded about it. When we ran this,Catawba from: 1. ROUTE 1234 BRIDGE TO US ROUTE 221 BRIDGE was running @ 354 cfs. This being so close is a good gauge for the amount of water running in this section. When we put in, my first thought was this is going to be a lazy day on the river. However, to my surprise it was rock garden after rock garden just about the entire ride. I will say, at this flow rate it is definitely a place for intermediates to hone their skills on reading the water. If the water was above 600 cfs on the Catawba in Old Fort it would turn into a much more adrenaline filled ride. I will go back at higher levels!
