Georgia whitewater - Chattahoochee River, Habersham/White/Hall County

Habersham/White/Hall county, Duncan Bridge to Belton Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II(III)     11 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so you'd better keep in mind that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. The scenic beauty of Georgia and the water flowing gracefully down Chattahoochee River make the trip here worthwhile. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a large number of paddling places. This river system is full of great paddling stretches, the Duncan Bridge to Belton Bridge stretch is just one of them. If you hurry you can run this section in a
    day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your sleeping bag too. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. And
of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The put-in location is a short drive from Cornelia, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. This section of Chattahoochee River is 11 miles long and it is classified as a class II(III) section by American Whitewater.
