http://www.coosariveradventures.com/ runs a shuttle for $10. They were kind enough to run an extra shuttle for me after their last normal one. According to them the river runs @ 2000 CFS weekdays with recreational releases much larger on the weekends. I ran it on a weekday...its a decent beginner run, nothing too scary but introduces them to most of the different things they'll face on other whitewater (wavetrains/holes etc). With a huge flatwater paddle on either side. I probably won't run it again on weekday flows in a WW kayak though...too much flatwater. It'd be a great run in an open canoe though.

Mikey getting kicked out of the gap
This is the wave to the left of the gap; the normal wave to the right was washed out at this level, but left a pretty cool 5ish foot wave train
