French Broad Section 9 – Barnard to Stackhouse
Limit is 15 people
Saturday, June 25. WOR warm-up trip led by Joe and Martha Mount. French Broad Section 9, Barnard to Stackhouse. This is a section that has Class 3 rapids, and although it won’t be at a pushy level, in order to have a successful day, you should be an experienced kayaker and comfortable on a river such as the Nantahala. First timers to this section are welcome, and we can show easier lines if preferable.
Read about French Broad Section 9 here (note that this description includes the additional 4 miles to Hot Springs which we are not doing) https://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River/view/river-detail/1074/main
Possible Sunday trip 6/26, TBA. We’ll see if some folks want to stick around and paddle somewhere Sunday.
As the date nears, we’ll communicate more detailed information to the group. Email me: mountjf1@gmail.com, please include your cell phone number, your paddling experience if I don’t already know you and where you’ll be coming from.
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.
