Forgot to add: no problem with landowners at Moores Mill Rd. put in at VA, just be nice. Be careful with locals on four wheelers at Anglin Mill Section in NC. (below bridge)

A great little run for an area with no decent whitewater. A fall line runs through the NC section to give two great class 3 rapids. Public put in and takeouts on the NC end (Old Anglin Road). The rest of the rapids are class I-II. Lowest runnable is around 1.5 USGS gauge.
