Trip Report

ReporterLogan James

This is one of the entrance ledges to Taylor Shoals a nasty 35 foot waterfall just downstream. Be careful and don't miss the last chance eddy.
Just some class 3 boogy water below Taylor Shoals
This is the Entrance ledges to You Run It First which is a very big 35 foot waterfall that does not have a good line cause it all lands on a big rock shelf. Don't miss any eddy's here.
This is a big waterfall that lands on a Rock Shelf. Not much a portage trail on right, don't know about left.
This is about a 30-40 foot slide that we ran down the right side.
This is about an 8 foot ledge that breaks up a long streatch of flatwater in Between the two huge waterfalls that have to be portaged.
This rapid is not to big, but very dangerous. It has bad undercut on the right side where you enter the rapid and then current pushes bad to the left side of river to another undercut. There is a rock ledge here that you have to power over at low flows. There is also a bad undercut at the bottom of the rapid. Stay center as much as possible.
This is a pretty nice boof above the cave rapid. The top part of the drop is about 4 feet with current feeding into undercut on right, then some current into a nice boof of about 6-8 feet. It kinda lands on rocks.
This is about a 12 foot drop that is very nasty and dangerous. It is all undercut and sieved out. Most of the current goes into a cave with no escape. Fun to Risk factor is very low on this one.
Nice boof rapid of about 8-10 feet total.
The secong nice boof below the cave rapid.
This is the slide you can see looking up from the chattooga. it is about 20 feet long slide that has bad undercut on the left. Run far right.
This is another small rapid that is a double boof of about 3 and 4 feet, but it has a very bad undercut sieve on the left side.
