  • Little River passing through the gorge is one of the best IV/V whitewater runs in the southeast with numerous class IV drops, some spectacular class V drops and deep turquoise blue pools. The 'Upper Four' is the best run for advanced creek boaters and the chairlift section is ideal for paddlers just advancing into IV/V whitewater. Remember names like Terminal Eddy, Mr. Bubbles, Cable Falls, Pinball, Humpty Dumpty and Corkscrew. IF LRC doesn't get your pulse up, try South Sauty Creek.
