Caney Fork: Quality boulder garden class 3-4. It starts with a nice slide (if you scrape good on the slide its pretty low flow), Then there is flat water for about the first mile. When the boulders start it gets steep pretty fast. I remember a hand full of class 4's throughout the run and lots of class 3 boogie, feels like over 50 rapids throughout the whole run. It is continuous, with small pools and lots of rapid’s, the longest pool was just before the takeout. The shuttle takes about an hour and 10 minutes depending on how long you spend 4x4ing to the takeout (about 20 min of class 3+ driving). This run would be a big day for U and crew, it’s a long run (13 miles) and there are lots of technical rapids. It would be doable with a more in depth safety setup than we usually employ.
