Jeff Creamer and I paddled the Upper Tuck in packrafts and it was a blast. We hiked up from the takeout 4-5 miles to the confluence. Everything went very smooth in packrafts! We walked the tight gorge rapid below the slides. This is a delightful, beautiful, and unique run. On this day the Burrells Ford gage on the Chattooga was 275 and falling, and we paddled the North Fork French Broad later in the day at 3 inches on the gage.
