Nantahala

They are releasing water over the spill way right now (November '09). I ran the upper section yesterday with just shy of 1000 cfs which was a great level. At lower levels you would not be able to raft this section due to the rocks but it would probbaly be possible at the level it was yesterday. I would compare the harder rapids to the boogie water on the cheoah. It is a very narrow section and very continuous, we had several swims and it took 1/2 a mile or more to stop the boats. On the second and third runs there was no swims and it took 27 min to run this section. Lots of fun at lower levels to but it was a blast with more water.
