Holston, South Fork

Above 800 cfs, I would call this a solid class 3 run with one four--the mill dam drop about halfway down to Alvarado. Ran it the other day at 2500 cfs--a solid class 3 with huge waves and holes. Even at 500 cfs, be sure to scout from the river right rocks above the ten-fifteen foot vertical drop at the mill dam. There is one slot at the center and another far right which will, with enough thrust off the top, avoid the hydraulics below. Otherwise, you may find some hydraulics asking you to stay!
