@MisterChimpy This was 2003 - we were the raft flipping over at around :39 in the vid. That river scared the hell out of me lol! Been dying to get back ever since though, just can't find someone willing to join me.

@MisterChimpy 1800 from the dam, 3700 from Meadow for a grand total of 5500 cfs give or take 100 cfs Hartley

It's a beauty!

What an awesome video.
But, man, if those guys would have been swept underneath that raft, it could have been very bad.
ENERGIZER!!!!

The videographer (Eli Helbert) that day was in a kayak taking video for paying customers on a raft trip. People do hike down to Sweets Falls though I've never done that.

I forget the exact date (though I can look at the original later and find out)... but I know it was during the weekend of Gauley Fest, probably around 2000 - 2001.
It was raining a lot all week and they were releasing about 2,000cfs as the Meadow was pumping in another 3,000cfs (I might have that backwards). Either way, Sweets was about 5,200cfs that day. :)
