Ocoee should be running nonstop for a while. I'll have a for sure answer once I hear from my buddy jake.

A broken, out-of-date, wooden flume built in the early 1900's that failed in the '80's brought this river back to life. The new flume was way more expensive and took way longer. It's been down several times since they rebuilt it. Go figure. And enjoy the unscheduled release.

Big water fun at those levels.

So I won't have to carry my boat down the ramp?

Does anyone know of a video source posted on the web regarding the recent 7K cfs release? It would be interesting to view this level at the bottom of Double Suck,and the hole formed by the large "USGS" boulder.
