Tallulah

Ran today at 630 cfs. First time down. Was a fun run. Good level. I think 750 would be ideal. There is a tree in the last rapid, the remnants of an old dam. It's on the right side. Line seemed to be running 5 foot to the left of the root ball. The bride rapid upstream was pretty great. Definitely a class III+ at this level.

We ran this stretch in the spring, during Covid quarantine. We put in on Tiger Creek, and paddled on a flow of 730 cfs. The first half of the run is flatwater. After the first 441 bridge, there are some class II slides. After the stone bridge, the last 1/4 mile or so of the run is a continuous class IV rapid that looks nothing like the pictures. It was kind of like a rapid that would be at home on the gorge downstream. The last rapid is fun to do if you’re driving by, and looking for something different to do.

Ran it today when Chattooga was over 6 feet, Upper Tallulah was over 4000cfs, Tallulah gorge was over 2000, it was huge class 4+ if not 5 above below the bridge above the Lake. The Dam right before lake is dangerous we ran it center and far right. Far right has Metal Sticking up that punctured boat be careful scout before doing it at high water.

So, seven years later, what became of the study and its recommendations? This looks like a cool stream, it's close and I'd like to run it.

These are the ledges just below the bridge seen in the other pics.
