If you're coming from Athens-Clarke County it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, as you can see on the road map further down. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. The natural beauty of Georgia and the playfulness of the water beats anything. A bit of exercise and just
being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. The High Shoals - Highway 186 to Price Mill section of Apalachee River in Georgia is 0 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III(IV) section. This is one of a small number
of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. This is an extremely short section so better bring some good walking shoes.
