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.
