Description
Fun section for anyone looking for a short and sweet trip with just enough action to keep it interesting. There's a boat ramp (known as 'Tallulah River Ramp' on google maps) on Chester York Road that can be used as a take out to knock off a couple miles or more of flatwater at the end of the run. I've used two different put ins as well. One is at the bridge over the Coleman River (I'd call it a creek) where it flows in to the Tallulah. Just below this put in is a short class II with an eddy on the right below the rapid, immediately followed by what I assume is the class III on this run. Alternately down river a half a mile or so is a fishing pier/dock and I've used that as a put in as well and eliminated the class III with only some minor Class I & II stuff below this put in. There is a rapid just above this put in that has many rocks with minimal spacing between them that looks to be tough to find a line through until the water is up enough to go over some of them. I've portaged this rapid on river left when putting in at the Coleman river bridge. The run is about 5.4 miles from the Coleman River put in to the boat ramp. About a 4.8 mile run if you put in at the fishing dock/pier and go to the boat ramp.
