this river is very shallow in most spots just like the yellow river. lots of fun all the way to lake jackson. even a good tubing river. Says patrick coady
The average Georgia whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The beautiful scenery of Georgia and the water flowing gracefully down Alcovy River make the trip here worthwhile.
