Section III — Chattooga River

A long, rolling shoals that loosens everyone up right after the put-in. Read-and-run wave trains with a couple of friendly surf waves.

A boulder garden alongside the namesake painted ledge. A great place to practice ferries, eddy turns, and reading the current.

A stepped ledge drop with a clean tongue on the right. Bigger water makes the runout livelier and the line a little more honest.

Named for Warwoman Creek, this is the section's first real punch — a diagonal wave train with a committing entrance and a fun, bouncy ride.

A wide, splashy rapid that spreads out across the river. Multiple clean lines; guides use it to teach reading water and picking a route.

The icon. A long, sloping pour-over into a deep pool — the classic photo moment on Section III. The US 76 take-out sits just below the pool.
