The Nantahala is primarily a class 2 whitewater river (last rapid class 3, Nantahala Falls) covering 8 miles. We will meet at the put in parking lot "Nantahala River Launch Site" (Waya Rd, Topton NC). Only whitewater crafts (canoes, kayaks) are allowed (ie. no recreational flat water kayaks, no flatwater touring kayaks, or flat water canoes). All participants are required to wear an approved PFD, and helmet. Bring plenty of drinking water, along with a snack/lunch for on the river. Expect to be on the river 4 to 5 hours. River permits (daily, or annual) are required, and available at NOC outpost store (either before meeting at put in, or as part of setting up shuttle).
