This project is located on the Nantahala River and two tributaries, Dicks Creek and White Oak Creek, in western North Carolina. The Nantahala River is one of the most popular recreational rivers in the United States. Beyond its picturesque setting and level of difficulty suited perfectly to unguided canoes, kayaks and rafts, the Class II-III section of the Nantahala has been a recreational mecca for decades rooted in its longstanding history of predictable flow from the Nantahala Dam operated by Nantahala Power and Light, now Duke Energy. Updated in 2020.
