Lost Cove Creek

Lost Cove has the most beautifull and pristine class III-IV gorges i've ever seen on any run in the southeast. Unfortuately it's only a half-mile long and sits in the middle of a 5-mile class II run with a 2 mile hike-in(serious 4WDrivers can make it shorter). Most of the lead-in is a mess of trees, islands and shallow shoals, with most of the paddle out about the same but deeper. I counted about three class IIIs, and two IV's. The first is a IV+ called Hunt-Fish Falls, a stunning 8 ft drop onto a 6 footer. Definately the highlight of the trip. The run kinda reminded me of the Upper Green; alot of hard work for just a few drops but mayby a little more difficult run overall. IF you like wilderness runs, picturesque waterfalls and a full body workout this might be your cup of tea.
