Dried up. Rain water ditch. Don't bother. 7-6-2008 Says Ron S.
This section of Chattahoochee River in Georgia is 0.2 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II(III) section of whitewater. The scenic beauty of Georgia and the playfulness of the water beats anything. The average Georgia whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The put-in is not too far from Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, please |
