There was a couple of Clemson boaters who ran this twice Feb of 2010. Both times the lake level was 100.6. We found that there was a dramatic difference in the levels. Because the dam is so wide the difference in 100.69 and 100.60 is a lot. 100.69 offers plenty of water, while the 100.60 is doable but boney. The pump house falls had enough water both times. We put-in below the 176 bridge cause we had trouble fining a way to put-in just below the dam. As others reported a long time ago, there is a lot of trees/brush/debris. This does clear out before the first major drop and after that it is not a concern. Once you arrive at the trees and brush there is a island in the middle. Go left of the island. Experience about 30 yards of class III boogie water and drop down the slide into the whole, stay left. Then there is a series of 3 drops back to back to back, all Class III. They are a little difficult to scout. After this there is a calm stretch before the last too rapids. With the rapid above the falls be sure you are ready for the surprise hole of the wave. The the falls. At 100.6 the land zone is not very wide, but doable. Be sure to boof.
