Hiwassee

DO NOT TRY TO TAKE OUT ON THE RIVER LEFT SIDE OF THE RUN. USE THE REGULAR HIWASSEE PUT-IN AS YOUR TAKE-OUT. We tried to use river left, but the road was gated before the final turn to the plant below. We sent two people down to see if they wouldn't mind us parking there. They were less then pleased to see us there at all, much less park. Also, after a rain, the FS road is very muddy and almost impassible in spots. This makes the river left take-out a NO GO! Use the regular Hiwassee put-in on river right as your take-out. I would also suggest, if there has been a recent rain, avoiding the FS roads AS much as possible and taking the very long shuttle around the mountain. Again, if I havn't made myself clear. There is NO TAKE-OUT ON RIVER LEFT.
