Section IV — Chattooga River

A clean seven-foot drop that sets the tone for the day. Scout from the left, punch the tongue, and ride the boil line out.

A narrow, high-volume chute through a rock slot. The line is short, but there is no room for error — commit and stay square.

A winding boulder slalom between rock walls. Technical read-and-run water that leads into the Five Falls.

The gateway to the Five Falls. A powerful entry drop that feeds the pool above Corkscrew.

The crux. Water corkscrews through a twisting slot and explodes at the bottom. Mandatory scout from the rocks — this is the one everyone remembers.

A diagonal seam that feeds a tight channel between two boulders. Line it up early and commit to the slot.

A steep, powerful drop with a hydraulic that earns its name. The right line threads the clean side of the hole.

The final rapid of the Five Falls — big crashing waves and a strong recovery pool to celebrate in.

A rolling Class III finale before the flatwater float to Tugaloo Lake. Time to breathe and re-live the Five Falls.
