Log in to add an alertWatch out for a clean looking drop between two large rocks past midway down. I think its called trashcan falls. I had a very close call there. My first and only vertical pin. Very dangerous spot so be aware of this area....
Yeah I read this warning and had to submit my accident report and what happened to me there..albeit a long time ago...
. Thanks for the submission......
I could be wrong but i don't believe trashcan is part of this particular run. this is the red roof run and trashcan is much farther down stream on the 321 bridge (intersection of watauga river road and 321) to guy ford bridge run.
DO NOT even think about running this section below 400 / 500 CFS. . . The potential for pinning is MUCH higher and the boat abuse is prominent. . .
just not worth it. . . Also, note that the guage is far downstream so you can count on the red roof section being significantly lower than what the Sugar Grove Guage is actually reading, depending on rising or dropping cfs and the rainfall at that time.
