Cooleemee

Cooleemee is a boat ramp access point on the South Yadkin River in Davie County, North Carolina. The South Yadkin River is a large stream system with a drainage area of 906 square miles and an average flow of 1046 cubic feet per second. The river has a significant gradient of 13.5 feet per mile on average, resulting in a 1017-foot total elevation drop across its 75-mile length. At this location, paddlers and boaters should expect moderate current conditions typical of a Stream Order 6 river with an average velocity of 2.66 feet per second.

This access point serves as a put-in or take-out for recreational boating on the South Yadkin River. The river's substantial flow rate and gradient indicate it is suitable for intermediate paddlers comfortable with moving water conditions. The location's proximity to the upper reaches of the river system suggests relatively faster water compared to lower sections of the river. Boaters should be prepared for current conditions and plan trips accordingly based on water levels and weather conditions.
