    Paddling in Western North Carolina

    Featured Paddle
    FEATURED PADDLE ARCHIVE

    The Green River Narrows

    Description:

    This run is for the advanced paddler. It is class IV+-V. You can expect very technical tight slot moves as well as a few big technical waterfalls. I recommend that you paddle it with someone who knows it if you have not been down there before. It is a dam-released run. It does not have a set schedule. You will have to call the Duke Power line to get the dams releases.

    Put-In:

    Exit 22 (Upward Rd.) off of I-26, head East which is away from Hendersonville, turn right onto Big Hungry Rd. Follow it down to a fork; take the left fork. Follow it down to another fork; take the right fork. Stay on this until you see Gallimore Rd. on your right. Follow this down to the bottom, where you will park in a gravel parking lot. You will have to pay to park here. You can either buy a years-parking pass or pay by the day. You will cross back over the gravel road, and hike down the trail to the river. It is about a 15-minute walk.

    Take-Out:

    Exit 28 (Saluda Exit) off of I-26, head East which is away from Hendersonville of Saluda, turn left onto Green River Cove Rd. You will follow this all the way down the mountain. You will be going down a steep and narrow road with a lot of switchbacks. Follow it to the bottom of the mountain, and you will see a large gravel parking lot on the left. This is the take out.
