As one might gather, the Rockcastle River is beautiful, challenging, and exhausting. The paddler has more than put in a full day before even reaching the most demanding part of the run. Only paddlers with a lot of experience on technical rivers should attempt the Lower Narrows. Extra flotation is a must for open canoes. Dangers other than those already mentioned include deadfalls on several turns along the first 12 miles.
Access is good at both put in and take out.
Average stream width is 40 to 60 feet. Click here to visit Menasha Ridge Article copyright Menasha Ridge Press . All rights reserved. All rights reserved.
