Description

After floating through the Doldrums you will pass the tunnels underneath the bridge to GoForth Creek. As you pass this landmark you are entering Hiwassee Shoals, named after the Hiwassee river just north of the Ocoee. This is an easy Class II section with a few small waves and rocks to run around, there are some nice places along this section to pull over and eat lunch, take a break, etc. The water will calm shortly and lead into the ledges.
