American Whitewater and our affiliate club partners negotiated 10 annual releases on the Class Tallulah Gorge and public access to the river, which began in 1997. Saturday releases are at 500cfs, and Sunday releases are at 700cfs. The releases occur on the first two weekends in April, and the first three weekends in November, and have become a treasured recreational opportunity. Regional paddling clubs organize dozens of volunteers each year to make the releases possible.
