| Level
of Expertise: It
is great for beginners learning to playboat. Because it is so
slow, beginners can take their time to learn what they want to.
They can really control their boat much easier than some of the
other play spots in the area. It is also great for experienced
paddlers. You can get a great work out while working on your skills.
Put-In:
From Asheville- Take
40 West to 23/74 West like you are going to Western Carolina University.
Get off at the exit for the University (exit 85). Follow that
road into town (Sylva, NC) where you will come to a major intersection.
Take a left on the four lane, and head to Western Carolina University.
Stay on this road past the University, and it will then turn into
a two lane road. Keep going on this road
until you see an Exxon Gas Station on your left. Right after this
you will cross a fork of the Tuckasegee River. As soon as you
cross this river turn left on the first street across the river.
Drive up that road until you see a gravel parking pull off
on your right. Park there and put-in about 50 yards back down
the road. The hole is right there.
Take-Out:
The take-out is the
same as the Put-in.
