The drowning was at Crack in The Rock. I don't know details - boater took the middle slot and pinned.

First week of December, 2003, the folks at the Cherokee visitor center told us that the Tribal Council recently passed a law banning boating on the Raven Fork. This apparently was in response to a drowning. Anyone else have confirmation of this?

The actual put-in for this run is at the confluence, where the 2 govt roads split. Or one of the pull-offs nearby.

Dan just below Crack In Rock rapid.
This photo shows the main 'crack'
that sometimes is jammed with
wood. This video still capture was
taken when the Raven Fork was
running at a minimum level. We ran
the Crack via the river left chute -
which is not visible in this image.
