Description
The most important thing to know about this section is that permission is needed to run it from the Boiling Springs Rod and Gun Club.  If you have contact info or more details, please add it below.  In his guidebook, Gertler states that he visits the clubhouse at the head of Richardson Gorge on the Jackson River (permission is also needed for that run, which shares the same takeout).
