We will paddle a section of the South Fork of the Holston near Damascus, Va., above South Holston lake. Since this section is not dam controlled, we will be depending on adequate rainfall. Much of the river follows local roads, but the scenery is still nice.
Cold temperatures are almost a certainty.
Dress accordingly in wet suit or drysuit with spare dry clothes available. Preregister with Ben Becker, 288.5886. If we are lucky and the soggy weather pattern we have been seeing for the last couple of months continues, we should have plenty of water for a Doe or Watauga gorge run. For details and to register for the trip, call Dewey Fuller at 615.7647340. The Catawba is a technical Class II-III river located in western North Carolina.
