Rapid TN Class II

Cherokee Dam

Nolichucky River - 1. Poplar NC to Chestoa TN (TN)

Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 500.0 – 4,500.0 CFS
Description
This is a rock outcropping on river right that in no way resembles a dam so I couldn't tell you about the name. It has a fun little play spot at moderate water levels and apparently a really loopalicious hole develops around 5-7,000 cfs. Usually lots of sunbathers hanging out here in the summer, some clothed & some not.
