The High Shoals - Highway 186 to Price Mill stretch of Apalachee River is 0 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-III(IV) section of whitewater. The natural beauty of Morgan/ Oconee County and the cool fresh water beats anything. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Georgia is often more difficult than elsewhere, so don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. Not too many hotels
nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This is an extremely short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has
a pretty small number of paddling places. If you're coming from Athens-Clarke County it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. A good workout and spending some quality time in nature have a lot of people coming here. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the High Shoals - Highway 186 to Price Mill section is one of them. There's camping available near Apalachee River.
