Введение
Доу — приток реки Уатауга в северо-восточном Теннесси, США. Река берет начало в округе Картер, недалеко от границы с Северной Каролиной, к югу от государственного парка Роан-Маунтин, и впадает в Элизабеттон.
Tributary of the Watauga River in northeast Tennessee, United States
The Doe River is a tributary of the Watauga River in northeast Tennessee in the United States. The river forms in Carter County near the North Carolina line, just south of Roan Mountain State Park, and flows to Elizabethton.
Гидрография
Река Доу берет начало с северных склонов горы Роан, протекает через государственный парк Роан-Маунтин и центр Роан-Маунтин, штат Теннесси, затем продолжает течь на запад, следуя параллельно федеральной трассе 19E. Далее ручей протекает к востоку от горы Форк, а река Литтл Доу – к западу от неё.
The Doe River flows from the northern slopes of Roan Mountain, through Roan Mountain State Park and the center of Roan Mountain, Tennessee, then continues to flow west and is paralleled by U. S. Route 19E. The stream then flows to the east of Fork Mountain; while the Little Doe River flows by Fork Mountain to the west.
Хэмптон и Вэлли Фордж
Проходя через горный проход к северу от Хэмптона, штат Теннесси, река Доу пополняется водами, вытекающими из источника МакКатхерн. Ниже места слияния рек Доу и Литтл Доу у Хэмптона, река Доу течет преимущественно в северном направлении через район Вэлли Фордж и вновь пересекается с федеральной трассой 19E недалеко от Элизабеттона.
Pushing through a mountain gap just north of Hampton, Tennessee, the volume of the Doe River is increased by the waters flowing from McCathern Spring. Below the confluence of both the Doe River and the Little Doe River at Hampton, the Doe River travels roughly in a northern direction through the Valley Forge community, and is rejoined by U. S. Route 19E outside of Elizabethton.
Покрытый мост Элизабеттон
Проходя параллельно федеральной трассе США 19 E, река Доу протекает под двумя мостами этой трассы в районе Ист-Сайд, прежде чем повернуть в северо-западном направлении к деловому центру города Элизабеттон. Крытый мост Элизабеттон расположен в центре города Элизабеттон, административном центре округа Картер. Соединяя 3-ю улицу и проспект Хэтти, этот исторический крытый мост, построенный в 1882 году, перекинут через реку и находится рядом с городским парком и зданиями органов власти округа. Мост открыт для пешеходов и велосипедистов, но закрыт для автотранспорта. Река Доу переливается через водосливную плотину сразу ниже крытого моста и протекает под двумя бетонными арочными мостами 1928 года постройки в Элизабеттоне, перед своим впадением в реку Ватауга. Первый бетонный арочный мост – мост Эльк-авеню в центре Элизабеттона, а второй известен как мост Брод-стрит и является частью трассы штата Теннесси 67.
Flowing parallel with U. S. Highway 19 E, the Doe River flows underneath two 19 E bridges at the East Side community before heading in a northwest angle toward the Elizabethton downtown business district. The Elizabethton Covered Bridge is located in downtown Elizabethton, the county seat of Carter County. Connecting 3rd Street and Hattie Avenue, the historic 1882 covered bridge spans the river is adjacent to a city park and county government areas. The bridge is open to pedestrians and bicyclists, but is closed to motor vehicle traffic. The Doe River spills over a weir dam immediately downstream of the covered bridge, and flows under two 1928 concrete arch bridges in Elizabethton, prior to its confluence with the Watauga River. The first concrete arch bridge is the Elk Avenue Bridge in downtown Elizabethton; the second is locally known as the Broad Street Bridge and carries traffic on Tennessee State Route 67.
Каякинг на белой воде и речные трубки
Большая часть участка реки Доу, протекающего между местом старта в долине Фордж (LAT 36.310833 LONG 82.193055) и местом финиша непосредственно перед слиянием с рекой Элизабеттон, классифицируется по Международной шкале сложности рек как класс/категория I; однако есть несколько коротких участков трассы на восточной стороне Холма Благотворительности Валли Фордж, к которым следует относиться как к классу/категории II. Примерно три часа занимает спуск по реке Доу на надувных кругах от места старта в долине Фордж до места финиша возле слияния реки Доу с рекой Ватауга. Спуск от средней школы Хэмптона до начальной школы Вэлли Фордж включает прохождение по порогам класса 2/3 и является более сложным, чем участок ниже школы Вэлли Фордж. Все надувные круги и каяки должны обноситься вокруг плотины, расположенной сразу ниже крытого моста в центре города Элизабеттон. Существует участок бурной воды класса III/IV, известный как ущелье Доу, который начинается у моста через реку на Bear Cage Rd. и заканчивается на месте финиша в средней школе Хэмптона. На этом участке перепад высоты составляет от 30 до 49 метров на километр. Ущелье предназначено только для опытных гребцов. Спуск по государственному парку Роан-Маунтин совершался много раз, но не так хорошо задокументирован, как популярный участок ущелья ниже по течению.
Most of the Doe River section running between the Valley Forge put in (LAT 36.310833 LONG 82.193055) and the take out just before the Elizabethton confluence is classified on the International Scale of River Difficulty as Class/Grade I; however there are several brief segments of the Valley Forge Charity Hill East Side run that should be approached as Class/Grade II. It takes approximately three hours to float down the Doe River on inner tubes from the Valley Forge put in to the take out near the confluence of the Doe River into the Watauga River. Putting in at Hampton High School and taking out at Valley Forge Elementary involves running class 2/3 rapids and is more difficult that the section below Valley Forge school. All river tubes and kayaks must portage around the weir dam that is located immediately downstream of the covered bridge in downtown Elizabethton. There is a Class III/IV section of whitewater referred to as the Doe Gorge that begins at the bridge over the river on Bear Cage Rd. and ends at the take out at Hampton High School. This sections drops between 100 and 160 feet per mile. The gorge is for advanced paddlers only. Paddling through Roan Mtn State Park has been done many times but is not as well documented as the popular gorge section downstream.
Влияние погоды
В отличие от регулируемого Управлением долины Теннесси (TVA) потока реки Ватауга, уровень воды реки Доу часто колеблется в зависимости от изменений в количестве осадков или засухи. Еще одно существенное различие между двумя реками округа Картер заключается в колебаниях температуры воды: в то время как круглогодичная температура воды реки Ватауга составляет примерно 52-53 градуса по Фаренгейту, температура воды реки Доу меняется вместе с температурой окружающего воздуха. Река Доу обычно очень комфортна для катания на каяках и сплавов в летние месяцы. Долина реки Доу редко подвергается сильным наводнениям. Река Доу берет начало в горной местности, которая может подвергаться сильным сезонным дождям (в мае – начале июня) и таянию снега, а русло реки Доу во многих местах довольно крутое, что позволяет уровню воды быстро подниматься вдоль берегов. Последнее сильное наводнение реки Доу произошло в ночь с 7 на 8 января 1998 года, когда внезапные штормы обрушили 178 мм (7 дюймов) осадков за двенадцать часов и привели к гибели семи человек (в том числе спасателя из Кингспорта Карлеса "Младшего" Годси после того, как его спасательная лодка перевернулась в водах наводнения реки Доу) в районе Хэмптона. Наводнение на реке Доу в 1998 году нанесло ущерб округу Картер на сумму около 20 миллионов долларов.
Unlike the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) regulated flow of the Watauga River, the water level of the Doe River often fluctuates with changes in rain fall or drought. Another significant difference between the two Carter County rivers is the variation of water temperatures: while the year round water temperature of the Watauga River is approximately 52 53 degrees Fahrenheit, the water temperature of the Doe River will vary along with the ambient air temperature. The Doe River is generally very comfortable for kayaking and river tubing during the summer months. The Doe River valley is infrequently subject to severe flooding. The Doe River drains from a mountainous region that can be subject to seasonal heavy rains (May early June) and snow melts, and the Doe River stream course is in many parts quite steep, allowing water levels to rise rapidly along the river banks. The last severe recent flooding of the Doe River occurred overnight from January 7 through January 8, 1998, with the sudden storms bringing down seven inches (178 mm) of rain in twelve hours and causing the deaths of seven people (including Kingsport rescue worker Carles "Junior" Godsey after his rescue boat overturned in the Doe River flood waters) in the Hampton area. The 1998 Doe River flood created approximately $20 million in Carter County property damages.
