Trip Report

Whirlpool Rapid is (i think) and underrated playspot. So many people flock to quarry hole(that's a nice hole too) that it's nice to have whirlpool all by myself. There is good eddy access(even though it is a whirlpool eddy).
There is also a rapid that we call Root Canal because the water flows over roots sticking out of the water on river left and creates a nice wave train. Root Canal is right after Quarry.
Nantahala Falls can also be run on the right side. Most people go to the left of the top hole- but lemme tell you, the right side of the top hole, if you know where you're going, is a smooth ride.
