Yadkin

Me and my friend Jem Baker got on this on December 26th, 2023 after decent rainfall in the area and with it continuing to rain throughout the day. Without much beta, we picked our way down and scouted things that we couldn't see. There were several river wide logs towards the beginning (before the gorge) that had to be portaged and then one somewhere in the middle of the run. There was also other wood here and there. We put-in along Richland Road [1372] and then chose to takeout at a small pull-off along Yadkin River Road [1560] as there wasn't really a good spot along HWY 321 to park. We think the level was at a Medium flow. The Patterson online gauge was reading 800 cfs for reference. Overall, we had a good time. This was a neat stretch to check out. Happy we got it :).

So what was the level when you ran this?

This section runs thru private trout club water and the 'black tubes' are used as feeding tubes for the club to send trout food down to the pools where the trout are hard to reach.
