The
Saluda River produces some of the best whitewater in the southeast when levels
exceed their normal flow. With over six miles of gradient roaring through
Columbia, you can’t pass up the adventure waiting for you only minutes from
downtown--Nothing gets the heart thumping harder than a beautiful view and
thunderous whitewater with waves approaching six feet. Many alternate rapid-runs
are possible, so be sure to let your guide know how wet you and your friends
want to get! There’s no doubt: Columbia is home of the best Southern Fried
Whitewater around!
The Saluda can be run at any level but it’s best when
water is released from Lake Murray. When the flows are normal, this river
trip can last about three hours and provide a series of class I-III
whitewater. The day includes a ride through the infamous Class III-IV
Mill Race rapids providing thrills and spills! The wildlife is more abundant
at normal flows, and can be observed better at this level than on the shorter
Thunder River Run.
