Trip Report
| Reporter | RC Forney |
Chesdin Dam, located just above the putin for the Matacoa section of the Appomattox.
The last of two exciting rapids located towards the end of this run. The water tends to force you into 'Target Rock', located behind the kayaker's head.
RC gauge located on the Matacoa Bridge. 2 feet above zero translates roughly to 4.5 feet on the USGS gauge. This is a fun level, not too dangerous.
