We came out here on a Friday afternoon. We hiked up and put in right below the dam. It was chill class two until after the powerline easement. The main rapid was comparable to something found on the Ocoee. The shoals had good surfing and the hike up wasn't bad. We ran it a few times and then hiked back to the cars. We saw some of the people who live on the road and they were nice. They seemed to understand what we were up and didn't mind.
