Ran this thing on Nov. 16, 2002. Good water, maybe on the low side of good. We put in 1.25 miles past the tradition chicken coup gap put-in. There will be a gated forest service road on the right, and a two car pull out on the left. On the left is a fishermans trail down to the river. This is a much easier trail to the river than the standard chicken coup gap trail. First half of the run is mostly Nantahala style class 2. Probably 3 or 4 miles worth. The good stuff is in the bottom half of the run. There are maybe three class 4 rapids. Everything else is boat scoutable class 3. On this date everything was pretty clear of trees. Good intro to creeking run.
