Rapid TN Class IV

Edge of the World

Watauga - 5. Guys Ford Bridge to AW Sherwood Horine Access (TN)

Gauge Conditions
Runnable: 150.0 – 650.0 CFS

Low-boatable.

Description

This is a rapid in many acts.  Start with narrow slots, then add some great ferry work, mix in some super boofs and a few very serious holes then shake and serve.  Multiple lines and entertaining activities can be found here - for instance, at lower levels you can ferry Around the World by ferrying and attaining around the large rock just up stream of a signifcant ledge hole - don't mess with this move at higher flows as the hole becomes very mean and unforgiving should you fall off the world into it.
