Umpteenth Annual WoR Hiwassee Trip!
Assuming a dam release, I will lead a trip on the Hiwassee River in Tennessee on the first Sunday, 6/28, at Week of Rivers. It is a beautiful Class II run, with clear, cold water (a TN state Wild & Scenic River). Long pools, and short ledges. A great place to build your skills with ferries, eddies, and small surfing waves, and the trip will focus on playing in these features.
A novice with basic skills should be qualified to do the run.
It is a 2 hr drive from camp, so we will try to get away quickly after the meeting. Be gassed up, and ready to go the night before. We will try to combine into the fewest vehicles. Take lunch, water, and sunscreen. We will stop for dinner on the way back.
There are several videos on You Tube if you wanna check it out!
All participants in any Carolina Canoe Club (CCC) trip do so as common adventurers. The CCC or its individual members may coordinate paddling trips but no one is considered leader of a trip. As common adventurers, all participants take the responsibility for making their own decisions including, but not limited to, whether it is safe for them to participate on any particular water body, what equipment they need and use, the routes they may choose to paddle, whether their skill levels and abilities are adequate for the activity or whether climate and water conditions are appropriate for their participation. Participants are exclusively responsible for their own safety.
Individual coordinators for all CCC activities set requirements per their sole discretion. The CCC does not necessarily endorse or approve requirements set by coordinators.
