August 3 - Lower Nolichucky below the Gorge
From Aug 3, 2024, 10:00 AM ET to Aug 3, 2024, 4:00 PM ET
Closed!

Information

Primary River: Lower Nolichucky below the Gorge

Alternate River is Lower Pigeon

Point of Contact: Shaun Mullins

Experience necessary to determine suitability:  This is a 4.5 mile long section of the Nolichucky just below the Gorge section with a difficulty level of Class II (III). That means it is mostly Class II, but there is one Class III rapid (Radio Tower). It is suitable for those who are not total beginners, but have some basic skills maneuvering on fast moving water, and at least some experience on class II whitewater. More advanced paddlers are also encouraged to participate and we can work on some more advanced skills for those people if desired. The Nolichucky is a natural flow river, so if we get significant rain, it could be higher and more of a class II+ (III) run. Normal flows for June are around 800-1200cfs. Cutoff flows for this trip will be minimum of 750cfs and maximum of 3,500cfs. I may reassess the max depending on the skills of the group participants.

We are limited to 10 participants.

Take-Out location: Lower Noli Takeout https://maps.app.goo.gl/fvmKbdXcc2Sz6HUB6. Put-In location: Chestoa Recreation Area https://maps.app.goo.gl/SEsn58sHRs21d9cG6. Meet at the Takeout at 10AM.

Required gear: Coast guard approved PFD, whitewater canoe or kayak with floatation, skirt for your kayak, water sports helmet, paddle, appropriate clothing for the water’s temperature, closed toes shoes (no water sandals), water bottle that clips into your boat.

Bring your lunch in a dry bag.

Registration opens the Saturday prior to the paddling date and closes Thursday at 10pm. You are welcome to email the trip leader, connect with them via Facebook Messenger, or email the Club for more information about the river.

Once you register, make sure you receive an automatic email with exact meet up time, location, and any other special details. If you do not, email the trip leader, contact them on Facebook messenger, or email the Club.
