The Holston River at this location is a major waterway with a stream order of 8, indicating it is a substantial river system comparable in classification to major American rivers. With an average flow of nearly 4,890 cubic feet per second and an average velocity of about 5 feet per second, paddlers should expect a moving current and plan accordingly for their skill level and experience.
The river in this area has a moderate gradient of 2.5 feet per mile on average, which combined with the consistent flow creates conditions suitable for intermediate paddlers and powered vessels.
