Etowah (M-N) East Cherokee - Canton

Given the growth in the area, this river is outstanding! It was surprising how little the development and industry effected the experience. The river is generally deep with a few rocky shoals that are low class 1. The river current varies from very slow to 5 MPH. Swims have the potential to be quite long.

River Difficulty: Beginner (Class I)
Distance: 15 miles (East Cherokee to Canton)
Avg Gradient: 5.0 fpm
Minimum Suggested Level: unknown
