Like three rivers in one. Starts like an alabama run, then features and ledges start looking like the smokies, and then the last few miles constrict and end in a gorge that reminds me of the House size boulders on Big South Fork and Russell Fork (according to Drew, the Upper Yough).
Challenging and continuous, quality rapids only 4.5 hours from home! Don't bother counting rapids or trying to memorize them (other than the kitchen). There are just too many!
here's footage of a low water run...
