I ran this yesterday at about 5.9. We started from a campsite along Shavers Fork Rd. It is two bridges after the old stone bridge. This section has a lot of really good waves, but watch out for what some call Channel Falls. It is a little bit more than half way to Porterwood when Shavers Fk Rd. (river right) gets real low and close to the river. It is hard to see the ledge when you are coming up on it until it is too late, but it was about a 3 ft. drop. You can avoid it by keeping far river left, but it is fun to go over when the water is high enough. We took out at the church in Porterwood (river left). Great couple hour trip for an afternoon!
