Description
Shortly after passing a house on river-right, there'll be a horizon line that marks this 20ish foot, medium-angle cascade. Run it pretty much anywhere, but most run it center and just a smidge left of center for the most fun. Do not get too far left or you may dry out on your way down. There is a medium-small hole midway down the center-left line. There are two medium-small holes near the bottom of the center line. There's a ledge hole at the bottom of both lines, but it has been friendly at the normal release level. A medium size sloping ledge with a moderately stronge hole on river-left and then some fun slides follow Kornegay's Cascade for about 0.1 mile.
This cascade is visible from the guard rail of the hairpin curve on Hwy 107 known as Cabbage Curve. However, the property along side the road is private and posted.
