Cascades/Upper Nantahala Special Release during WOR
This is a 250 cfs bypass release on the Nantahala Cascades and Upper Nantahala sections. There is often a bus shuttle provided by NOC for this to keep traffic down on the road. If not, CCC often begs for Shuttle bunnies as there is no place to leave cars at the put-ins for either section or the take-out for the Cascades. Typically all cars are left at the Nantahala Gorge Put-in (above Patton’s) on Wayah Rd which is the take-out for the Upper Nantahala section.
Upper Nantahala – Intermediate +
Cascades – Advanced

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.
