Laurel Lake Dam to Lake Cumberland (2 miles)

With the Lake levels down, Whore House is completely exposed and a Class V rapid. The ratings should be changed to reflect this serious rapid at the end of the run. The portage is not easy either. At 3800 cfs, this rapid has the kick and power of Iron Ring on the Upper Gauley.
