"Hang on, and watch for low-flying guides..."

If you're paddling a hard boat you may want to eddy out left above this stretch. It starts as the river cuts right, raft lines are basically staying right and then cutting to the center to catch the center of the waves here.

At higher water levels this makes a nice surfing and ender spot, at lower levels it is possible to get on the wave, but hardly worth it. Watch out for the undercut on river left after the eddy over there, if you can't make it into the eddy don't get caught there.

I love to hear from my readers, but I get a lot of mail. If you're writing to set up a rafting or other outdoor adventure trip in the southeast Tennessee area, contact the folks at OAR , my favorite outfitters.
