Whitewater

Half of this run is unrunnable and half is flatwater. There are two very short stretches of interest. The general progression of the run is as follows:

400 foot waterfall

Quarter mile of steep huge boulder gardens that make the Upper West Prong look small

Mile and a half of flatwater

100 yards of fun low water hike and huck right up to the lip of...

Lower Whitewater Falls - 200 feet

One long toxawayesque slide that MIGHT be runnable, a few jumbles, then...

Moondance Falls, unrunnable series of cascades totalling over 100 feet.

One class 5 boulder jumble right into Lake Jocassee.

I will note that the lower gorge from below Lower Whitewater Falls to the lake is incredibly walled in and should be scouted thoroughly before committing. There is not an absolute way in yet and portaging Moondance Falls may or may NOT be possible. Go in real low to scope it, reallizing you will likely be doing it all for one narrow slide and a boof or two. 90% of this gorge is likely to be portaged.

The hike and huck stretch immediately above the gorge is fun and not super difficult, but going in there with any water or recent rains is a BAD idea. The last drop ends in a 10 foot long pool immediately above Lower Whitewater Falls, which is a 60 foot entrance slide off 100 feet of vertical reconnecting on a shelf with several more bone crushing claps over 80 more vertical feet, before landing on a big pile of rocks. Instadeath!

Use your brain and don't get too greedy for a view of the falls, the rocks are slick and this is a true no mistake environment if there is one in the SE. That said, if you are tired of Triple Falls and there aint no water, this can be a rewarding afternoon well spent.

The drops progress as follows:
