River Description:

 


Falling Water is a big three rapid run (sort-of). It was first opened up by Tim Williams and Andy Turner. It has been run all the way to the valley by Marc Lyle and his gang, but many run the big three and then carry back up to the car. The put-in is really neat and it is in a land trust, very pretty area. Wayne Gentry's video "Vertical Addiction" has great footage of this nice run. This one runs a lot after summer down pours for some reason, which is a nice break from the Ocoee.

The top section has 3 monster drops, that are somewhat straight forward, but they are big, and the paddler on his first time will need air traffic control from his paddling buddies to keep his bearings straight.

After the big three it's game on to give you perspective you will be looking town on the township of Falling Water and you will be performing boat assisted hikes. This runs is for the paddler who likes Morgan, Middle and Brush. It is unforgiving. Marc Lyle has described as one of the toughest paddles he ever performed.

***Warning label***

Whitewater paddling is VERY Dangerous, and you should get instruction before ever attempting even to paddle flatwater. One of contributors to this web site has personally helped bury 3 kayaking friends, this isn't a joke. Whitewater paddling can ruin your life through accidents and can effect your family and friends throughout a lifetime.

The information on this page is incomplete, inaccurate, and very unreliable.   Use with caution.  Whitewater paddling is a dangerous sport and the information here is not a substitute for actual knowledge and skill.  The authors are not liable for your actions. Go ahead and kill yourself if you want to, but don't blame others for you actions and decisions that you will make on and off the river.
