This run is full of essentially boogie. I put in at the lower down park the day I did it. There is one rapid in this section that you want to stay on the inside of the bend.

Ferebee Park:

Gravel Bar (II).

A few other rapids are in here… but my apologies, class II is just not that memorable for me. There are maybe 3 others that are similar to Gravel Bar.

Bump (II+).

Nantahalla Falls (III).

NOC Wave (II+).

Worser Wesser (IV+).
