Trip Report
| Reporter | Philip Young |
| Gauge Reading | 850 cfs at LITTLE TENNESSEE RIVER AT NEEDMORE, NC |
| Flow | Low Flow |
We ran this at Week of Rivers at 850 cfs and slowly rising to 950 cfs. Due to recent rain, the water was more sediment-laden than usual. We put in at Tellico Creek and took out at Panther Branch, the last access on the left along Needmore Road. The first mile or so was the prettiest but we struggled the most with hitting rocks. The rest of the trip we did better, or maybe it was the rising water. I'd want over 1000 cfs to do it again.
