Trip Report

ReporterSam Smith

You're braver than I am! The last time I canoed this section (with camping gear - about 2 years ago), it was around 335 cfm, and I thought that was marginal at best. I had hoped to do this section again this week, but not with the water this low.

Instead, I canoed the section from the Lake Blue Ridge dam downstream (north) to Copper Hill, TN. There is a small park right at the state line with a boat ramp. The trip took about 5 hours, but was very rocky for the first 3 hours or so. It seemed the water level was a little lower than 'normal', even though it is controlled by the dam.
