Meadow Run

Put-in

Best put-in is right at the commercial rafting outfitters off Rt 381 about a mile up the hill from the slides. In reality, you can walk the shuttle along the road, it takes about 15 minutes at most. There is a trail alongside the river, but its hilly and winds around a little, the road is more direct.

Also, for the cascades. Our consensus was to start right of center, through the notch, and stay there until the end. Pretty simple slide. To avoid pitoning at the base, carry speed and go off with a side angle to the right, maybe 30 degrees. This keeps your bow from smacking down on the rocks, boofing is pretty hard when there is only an inch of water to use.

To gauge the river, its in the same drainage as the Big Sandy, the water falls from the same place, so most likely if the Sandy is rising towards 6.5 or more it is runnable.
