My friends and I recently floated the Greenbrier down to Cass. There were 10 of us, and we reserved the 'Durbin Rocket' cabooses on a Saturday (May 10th, 2008). We spent the night on the cabooses, which take you 5 miles down the river to a campground, and then leave you. The next morning, we floated the 11 miles or so down to Cass. It's a gorgeous river, and was fast-moving at just over 4 feet. There are two whitewater areas at that level, I would give the first a 2+, and the 2nd close to a 2, but neither were exceedingly technical - just long, high fast wave trains. It was cold and rainy, but WOW! Highly recommended. Probably not enough action for whitewater enthusiasts, but we were in open-water canoes.
