Trip Report

ReporterDan Rabun

I'd say a reasonable minimum for most people would be 225 cfs or so. My first run was at that level, and the upper portion was extremely scrapey. Personally, I think 250-400 is a nice level, 300-375 being ideal. I'd have to recommend only boating the bottom 3 miles, and taking out at the park in Friendsville. The Upper section is very pretty, but lots of wood.
