Georgia whitewater - Chattahoochee River, Blue Ridge Mountains, White/Habersham/Hall County

White/Habersham/Hall county, Robertson to GA Route 115 section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-II     16 miles
  The nature scenery of White/Habersham/Hall County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Georgia are often more challenging than in other states, so don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with plenty of spots for that. There are so many stretches to paddle in this river system, the Robertson to GA Route 115 stretch
    is just one of many. The Robertson to GA Route 115 section of Chattahoochee River in Georgia is 16 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class I-II section. When you're paddling down a Blue Ridge Mountains river like this one you always get great scenery
along the way too. If you hurry you can run this section in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so go ahead and pack your camping stuff. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came. There are nice comfortable hotels here, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The put-in is not too far from Cornelia, as you can see on the road map further down. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp.
