FlowMedium Flow

I ran the rapids on the Cape Fear at 9,555 cfs (Haw and Deep River gages at Moncure combined) and then ran the short section of rapids on Buckhorn Creek at 333 cfs after. The creek was a bit easier, but you would still want to be somewhat experienced with whitewater at this flow. The whole section of rapids on the creek at this level basically merges into one long wavetrain rapid with a couple of holes to punch at the end.
