Conasauga

This a pic of the large tree strainer that creates the log jam at S-Turn rapid. Note: River Right is walled out. 10-5-2014

This low water pic is showing the left line entrance to S-Turn to avoid the log jam strainer. 10-5-2014

This low water pic shows the down stream side of the log jam/ big tree strainer at S-Turn. The picture was taken almost where the bottom portion of the s-turn rejoins the main stream bed at the top of the Boulder Garden boogie. 10-5-2014

This one has two lines. The river left line currently had a log in it and can be seen in the pic.

Here is another pic of the 1st rapid looking downstream.

This was an S-Turn type of rapid that is the located at the big Log Jam. You have to paddle right up to the Log Jam in the center, then go Left to enter the S-turn. The huge rock in picture is the last part of the 'S'. Right after this, is a series of ledges & a boulder garden mixed in. Portage on River Left right as soon as you see the Big Log Jam. River right is walled out. At higher water this rapid would be a strainer city & hard to avoid.

This rapid is about 200 yards upstream of the actual put-in where Chestnut Lead trail meets the Conasauga.

Typical sections throughout the run

This is pretty much what the entire run consisted of between the larger rapids. You can also see the Conasauga River Trail in this picture. The trail crosses this run numerous times.

This rapid is approx 100 yards downstream of the put-in.

This was this last portion of the S-Turn just below the Log Jam pile up. It goes into a small boulder garden. I was standing on top of a boulder that creates the Log Jam

This is the Trail head for the put-in hike down Chestnut Lead Trail
