Abrams Creek

Having run this twice in the last year with two different groups, I think it should be rated as having two Class III rapids in it. Because of its Class II rating this run attracts mostly novice boaters, at all but it's lowest level the second big rapid (about 1 mile before the flatwater starts) really would rank as a solid Class III in that it requires an S turn, a small ledge drop, and avoidance of a downstream rock just afterwards. Also I have been told by all boaters that have run this with me that these two rapids were 'way harder than the Nantahla Falls (Lesser Wesser)' and this is a benchmark for a lot of the novice paddlers in the Southeast. Also, there is no easy portage around the largest rapid; which is too bad because it is a lot of fun and it would be nice to be able to run it multiple times.
