1 A Word of Warning
This is indeed THE guide to paddling in the western Carolinas, but it contains one extremely important error: the put-in listed for the Upper Green (class III) is actually the put-in for the Narrows (class V).

The true put-in for the Upper Green is just below the Tuxedo power plant; the take-out is what Benner mistakenly describes as the put-in.


2 This is THE book
on North Carolina white water. There are a number of regional white water guide books, and while they can be more helpful in some ways, they are not nearly so comprehensive. Benner has got it all. If it's in NC or SC and it's whitewater, then it's in there. The Caveat: Bob Benner is the old school author of most of the book. His son, David, is from the more elite hair-head generation. This means that the rivers rated by David are on a different scale from those rated by Bob. The good news: careful reading will reveal the difference between Bob's description's and David's.
