Little River Kayaking - Sinks to the Elbow - 3.5 Feet - Townsend, TN
The Little River is a great section of class III-IV whitewater that can come in with just a little bit of rain. This run is at 3.5 feet on the Townsend gauge, but can be run up to 5 feet and higher.
The first three rapids shown are called the Screaming Meanies, and at 3.5 feet I would classify them between IV-IV+. The Elbow at the end of the run (featured in the thumbnail) is also a Class IV rapid at these flows. Everything else is manageable boogie Class III-IV-.
Thanks to the group for letting me hop on a lap with them!

Greenbrier TN PFD
Middle Prong of the Little Pigeon AKA Greenbrier TN PFD on July 16, 2015. Level was 1.8' on the gage on the HWY 73 bridge and 2050 cfs on the USGS gage on AW. This is about the minimum level and probably too low for most folks' taste as there were no other boaters there. There were however plenty of joggers, fishers, gawkers, picnickers, sunbathers and tubers. This was my first of two laps with an easy 3.5 mile bike shuttle each time. Then I continued my tour of the Smokies and went on to run an afternoon lap on the Little River at a level of 2.4'.
