Flat Shoal River

This is great run for skills building. Only problem is that is requires adequate rain. The best way to determine if it is running is to scout the put-in or take out. The gauge relationship with the Chattooga does not really correlate well since the drought ceased. The Chattooga watershed is much larger, therefor it runs down much slower. When the river is running high, it is one of the best local runs around. It offers a good mix of everything. When the water level is up it has alot of great playspots. The upper is more challenging but has more flatwater after the first 1/4 mile.
