Chatooga River Paddle, Hike and Hang

[Hetairoi]

There are some paddlers here, the donating members area has a kayaking section, but most reports are lakes and flat rivers.

What kind of boat would be needed? Are there rental options? Got any links for more info? Spring/Summer would probably get more response.

Since I am not getting very many responses, Would more people be interested if it was a spring or summer paddling trip?

This would cut down on cost quite greatly and probably make the trip more fun.

Yes. Hope to have my packraft by then.

There is a place that rents duckies suitable for section III.
Section IV is only for experienced whitewater boaters in a whitewater boat.
Section III can be ran in a rec kayak or a smaller canoe with air bags. One of the drops may have to be portaged though for a rec kayak without a spray skirt.

Sulman is your first name Sully or Sullivan?
My first name is Sullivan (I go by Sully) and I have never met anyone with the same first name.

AT THIS MOMENT ALL SULLIVANS IN THE WORLD UNITE

I'd do a Spring / Summer boat and hammock excursion. Probably could talk sbroam into it as well...

May even be able to sort out an extra whitewater suitable boat or 2 if others would like to attend.

That sounds good.
I have a duckie that I may be able to lend out that I have ran section IV in at lower flows. Probably would only run section III at mid to higher flows.

Is there anytime in particular that would work good?
I was thinking anywhere between the first and second weekend of April.
Should be nice weather and good water levels then.
