Hwy 68 to Appalachia Powerhous: Hiwassee Dries Features
Mile Name Class
3.5
Hollywood Bowl

This is a big multi-ledged drop.  The ledges are of similar size, except for the right side, which might be a foot higher.  Give a good boof stroke to avoid getting window shaded from the pour over.

Wu

Long wave train with a boulder in the center as you come to the end of the rapid.  At levels around 1000cfs you can actually boof off this boulder.  At higher water level this could potential create a river wide hole

7.0
The Narrows

There the river narrows between two walls.  Get ready for some read and run, and some funny water for about a half of a mile.
