Description
Put in at Tanasee gap road, take out at old wagon road. The first mile is flat, the second two thirds of a mile contain a gorge. It is easy to self shuttle by putting in at living waters tabernacle, but you miss the first waterfall. Sadly it is not possible to put in immediately above the falls without tresspassing. The whitewater is slightly lower quality than the regular north fork run, but it is an easier self shuttle and will likely be at a good level if the regular run is a bit to high for you.
