Cullasaja

This is the first rock garden on the lower-lower Cullasaja.

This is the run I learned to kayak on. I used to do this every evening after work during the summer. As mentioned above the second rock garden is definantly not a place to flip. Also, the right line on spliter will flip you every time if the level is below 4.3. I ran this at about 5ft last summer and it was a blast. The rock gardens above and below spliter were great. Watch out for low hanging limbs on the one after spliter. I've done this run about 20 times and have a blast every time. The surfing wave at the end of the run is a lot more sticky than it looks. There's also a nice wave below the take-out. It's in front of the RV campground.

UPDATE: As of 3-9-04, there's a tree that has fallen blocking part of the river channel about 3/4 of a mile into the run. Nothing major, just be aware.

This used to be how splitter looked. The river has flooded since then causing a new hole on the Left side of the pic. River Right.
