| Gauge Reading | 189 cfs at BLACKBURN FORK LITTLE WARRIOR R NR HOLLY SPRINGS |
Put-In: Bridge at House Road 33.88004 N, 86.58050 W (Just off C.R. 15)
Take-Out: Bridge at C.R. 15 (Parked off Deavers Town Rd) Be careful approaching the stairs as we encountered some barbed wire near the base/under the bridge. The stairs are fairly steep with small rocks; use caution when ascending up to C.R. 15.
Level: ~189 CFS
We portaged both Pall Mall Falls (Class V) and the second major rapid below on river-right. At this lower level, the second major rapid below Pall Mall Falls had a potential pin rock exposed in the middle of the primary flow. This run has incredible gorge walls with caves, scenic views, large boulders and good water quality. Beautiful place indeed! About a 2 1/2 hour drive for us from Tennessee - we will definitely paddle this one again! Bring your creekin game and be ready to FIRE IT UP!!
