Description

This is the run above the Nantahala Cascades. The put in is at the base of a small dam. Take-out is the confluence of Whiteoak and Nantahala. There are three major drops on the run. A 10 foot ledge, a nasty 25 foot stair stepped ledge (Hospital air V), and the final 28 foot waterfall (The Mean Mistreater V+) at the confluence.
