Yup, it's worth it. Ocoee at 420 cfs. is well worth it. we had a blast. the only part that was supper low was the stretch right above broken nose. it was like a new river. very creekish, new boofs and playspots. i'll definitely be back if nothing else is running. It's been releasing a steady 420 cfs for the lat two weeks or so. 8)

It wasn't bad, although I don't agree with Scott about driving 3 hours to do it. I think the alternatives was Obed@1050 and BSF@~550(longer drive and a lot longer shuttle at least for me)

I wish I were closer, with at least 100 runs at the same level I have always wondered what a low water run would be like. It always looked like it would be a lot of fun.
