Trip Report
| Reporter | Nathan Thompson |
After running this section with my kayaking team this weekend, I can assure you that this is not a 13 mile run. The drive from bridge to bridge is 17.2 miles. The river is estimated to be slightly longer than that, somewhere around 18 miles. Fantastic day trip as long as you plan for 18 miles.
Also, there are more rapids that this page suggests as well. I didnt get a full count but it was an awesome day and the rapids were extremely fun.
I will post more info the next time we run this.
By the way, we ran it at 1.35ft and it was only bony in about 2 places. All around excellent river and when all other rivers are below runnable, the chatooga is hangin in there strong.
