only search W.R.W.W. Upper Hiwassee- Hiwassee Dries.     Water Quality (1 bad 3 good) Scenery (1 bad 3 good)                    Class III.8 Length 4.8 Miles (plus 2 miles of Turtletown Creek) Intel: Avg. Gradient 35 fpm Max Gradient 75 fpm Put-in: Option# 1 You can put in a Hwy 68 and this is a brutal put-in imagine the Cheoha from hell. Lot's of tree with a side order of trees. The streambed has been de-watered for so long its almost impossible to get down and in warm weather the river is full of snakes. And lot's of miserable flat-water over 3 miles of it. UGH! Option # 2 Which can suck to, is to use Turtletown Creek's takeout road, BUT! Since 911, TVA and the Forest Service block the gate.So.... Option # 3 Is to paddle Turtletown Creek, then paddle the Hiwassee Dries Turtletown Creeks shortens the shuttle and adds better water too. Take-out Appalachia Powerhouse. It's best to park at the put-in of the Lower Hiwassee Overall: So now you have figured it out. The shuttle is from hell, its long, blocked gates, muddy crappy roads you have to be careful where you park at the take-out due to 911. The rapids once they open up are Class III.6 in nature , most feel like Tablesaw on the Ocoee. The majority of the run is pool then rapids. So is it worth it. I think not . Others rave about it. But to be honest the work to fun ratio just isn't there. I've never heard of anyone running it twice.
