Trip Report

ReporterRussell Fauver

This run is much better broken into sections. I usually go from the dam on Saluda Dam Rd down to Hwy 81. There is a strip shopping center on river left that has public river access and is a great take out spot. If you put in at the dam and take out here this run is about 7 miles and takes 3-1/2hrs. There are several shoals and one set of class II rapids. There are portages on this run and the river flows smoothly at a slow pace the entire stretch.
