You can’t camp on this part of the Cartecay River unfortunately bc there are private residential properties that run along beside it. You can’t even get out on the banks actually bc you’d be on someone’s property. Maybe you can on other parts of the river, I’m not sure.

dI have never done the Cartecay, but I met a couple of kayakers that had been practicing on it one day on the Ocoee. They thought they would give it a try after scouting it from the road. they said it looked just like the Cdartecay.I was catching eddys and they went ahead. When I caught up to them at 2ed helping. One was sitting on the right bank and his boat was on river left. I went over and towed his kayak river right. I took the second kayaker, neeking everything we could down to GoForth. I loaded up his kayak and drove up to 2ed helping and loaded up the other kayak. took them to the take-out and their car and suggested they might want to practice on the Nantahala. A couple of weeks later one of my friends said he had met two boys over on the Nantahala that new me. Hope they are on the ocoee by now.

nver seen this river before. But I've heard about it. Met a couple of guy's on the Ocoee that had been practicing on the cartecay, and they were not having a good day. After a couple of swims and saves. one took off while the other one followed me down to "Go Forth Creek. I loaded him up and went back to get the other one and took them to the takeout. I suggested they try practicing on the Nantahala. I later heard from a friend that he saw them over there. Hope they were able to get back to the Ocoee.

It had been raining a lot that week previously. It made the creek higher and faster. Also washed out most of those few fun little rapids. 600cfs that day from Graysville (Old Mill put in to Camp Jordan. Looked it up online beforehand. This video was from a year ago. Thanks for watching!

Great video - do you remember what the release flow (CFS) was that day? I ran it in mid August two consecutive days, first over 1,000 CFS, and second around 840 CFS - looked very different! Great run you did.

Thanks! I’m normally really good about keeping up with those numbers for my videos. But, I don’t think about it as much on this one. I think it was around 755 cfs maybe. I can’t remember though!

@@mightymist It certainly looked lower than the 850 cfs I ran it on the second day, a lot of the faster water looked more choppy. One of the NOC staff told me that the river had been low much of the summer. Having run it only those two days in higher water, I just wonder how different the river experience would be far lower. Thanks for replying! Be safe out there!

@@jasongray7447 I think you probably ran it when there was also an upper release. It’s dam controlled and it generally runs at 586 cfs - 7 something. Unless, there’s a lot of rain on top of it, the Nantahala is pretty dependable. So, it’s not low in my video at all, it’s normal. It’s always a good time though. I ran it every weekend of August as well. One of my favorite rivers!

@@mightymist Every weekend! Lucky you. We ran it right after the Tropical Storm came through that caused all the terrible flooding in Canton, so, we knew it was higher than normal. The current was powerful and a little concerning at times (my whitewater skills are very rusty)! I'd love to run it in the fall when the leaves are on fire.
