Ran dam to Hwy 81 today. Gauge (AW#829) shows 3.01 ft at 3 PM. Ran from 1 to 4 PM. Level is low runable because a few scoots needed at top of rapids. Otherwise, level is ideal.

Update as of July 2013 - a takeout along Hwy 81 but way before Piedmont is now at Dolly Cooper Park. Look for the on-river take-out deck, River right. Access to the takeout is off Hwy 81 on Old Anderson Rd., into Dolly Cooper Park. Ignore all the earlier comments now about access via the shopping center. It is fenced off.

Also, Dolly Cooper landing is so superior to anything else in this area, this section should be split by Admin. into 2 sections: 1) Dam to Dolly Cooper which has most of the rapids, and 2) Dolly Cooper to Piedmont which is almost all flat water.
