Alcovy

From Mark Hicks:

Whoops, I should have read your previous e-mail first as you mention in it the Alcovy section right above Lake Jackson. Per the way upstream Alcovy River gauge at north of Grayson (located about 6 miles below the Upper Upper Alcovy River/Creek run) http://ga.waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/uv?site\_no=02208150 , the Alcovy River is HUGE at that upstream location so this weekend you should have a lot more water than 1.2 below the bridge at Factory Shoals on Alcovy River. The three times I have paddled it it was between 1.2 to 1.6 on the bridge gauge and it was fun trying different routes including the boof move in the last rapid. My understanding is the hydraulics start to get really big around 2.0. The Upper Upper Alcovy run located between GA Hwy 29 and Alcovy Rd is possibly too big to run right now as most of the water is probably running through trees right now.
