Cheoah River

Yesterday we hiked the Appalachian Trail from Stecoah Gap to Yellow Creek Gap. On our way back from Yellow Creek to pick up the other car, we went by the Cheoah river. As it turned out, they had a release that day. The Cheoah is apparently one of the best rivers in the east when they release water from the dam (see more at www.cheoahriver.com). I have been by the river before, but during the release it was pretty dramatic. Below are pictures of kayakers playing in a hole nearby, and the suspension bridge that goes out over the river.
