There are many rivers available to paddlers up and down the Appalachian Mountain chain; readers will find only the cream of the crop in the fourth edition of Appalachian Whitewater: The Southern States. Each of the rivers included in this volume contain extensive narratives on how to run and what to expect.
Each guide also contains an "at-a-glance" data sheet (listing difficulty, runnable water levels, gradient, volume, USGS quads, dangers, and more), a detailed map, and for some streams, diagrams of notable rapids. Includes Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, Maryland, and West Virginia.
