Description

Look for the chute which is closer to the island than the left shore of the river. Otherwise, at minimal flow, you might find yourself falling off a four foot ledge. This is a two part drop, each drop about 2-4'. At 5000 cfs and up this is a wavetrain you would expect to see on the Ocoee.

At 5000 cfs and up there are strong hydraulics on both sides of the tongue, on both parts of the drop, so stay on line and don't end up in the hole. There were a couple of near drownings here involving some ill prepared Auburn college students in canoes back in 2001.
