Started at Silverleaf with the gauge at the bridge well below 1 ft. Water wasn't even on the bridge pillar gauge. Lots of rocks just below surface to maneuver through/slide over. I was floating a Necky Rip rec kayak, my friend was in a Perception Carolina 13.5 touring kayak We both enjoyed the scenery and the challenge of the falls. I would like to have more water to run the Silverleaf to 221 stretch again.
See the pics attached: The first set of falls, went river right. Second set of falls, went river left, then back to center to exit. Third set and most intimidating, went down the middle channel, which was pretty easy to ride.
