Trip Report

ReporterAdam land

I ran this section from Saluda Dam to Dolly Cooper park on 04-02-16 with a buddy. Dolly Cooper has a nice handicap launch recovery dock. The gauge indicated 3.55. The river was very runable and my GPS indicated the river pushing us at about 2mph without paddling. The only time I bumped any rocks was due to my newness in kayaking and picking a bad line on a couple of the small but fun rapids. This section took about 3 hours with a 30 min lunch break.
