Tallulah

Paddled 5/27/22 at 1350cfs when we put on. New wood above the big rapid right below the Coleman confluence. It's a river wide log at the entrance of the rapid. Could probably be ducked under at lower flows but I'd probably avoid it. We put in at the fishing pier about 1/4 mile down river from the Coleman confluence. It was a fun run. Didn't notice any new wood below that point. There are some strainers but they're all easily avoidable. At this level the run felt similar to the Lower Nantahala.

Ran this river twice in the past few months. Once at 700CFS and dropping and last weekend at 475 CFS and dropping. Both were fun. Scraped a few rocks at 475 but not a problem at all.

Looking upstream from the Fishing Pier at this rapid. Would be easier to run with more water. This is 225 cfs. Roger Nott ran in his long Canoe. I portaged it easily.

Standing at top of Cold Buns rapid. Flow very low at 225cfs. Roget Nott having already run the rapid is waving at the bottom.

Scouting Cold Buns rapid on the way to Coleman confluence.

Hanging out below Cold Buns. This rapid is not easily portaged. Very steep banks.
