Trip Report
| Reporter | Paul Blichmann |
Went from Old Easley Bridge all the way to Piedmont. 4.0 feet was the level. There was only one ripple the whole voyage - I don't know where 'Class II' is coming from, unless it's in the first mile or two which I left out. It's possible that everything washes over at 4 ft.
Worse was that the river was completely flat for an eternity. I was solo in a long canoe paddling like mad to get in before dark. However I was chasing a Florida-sized egret the whole way, saw lots of ducks, fish jumping, and even beavers. If I went again, it would be with beer and fishing gear...Class I @ 4ft.
