Muscogee county, City Mills Dam to Dillingham Street Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     0.5 miles
 
I want to plan a kayak trip down the river for this July. Can you assist me with this? We are from Florida and I have only kayaked once in Georgia. Says Karin Arellano

This stretch of Chattahoochee River in Muscogee County is 0.5 miles long and is a class II-III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Georgia are harder than the national norm, so if you're not from around here don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. The natural beauty of Muscogee County and the water
    flowing gracefully down Chattahoochee River will make you feel great. This is the only paddling section along Chattahoochee River. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great reasons to come. This is a very short section so you'll
have to walk back to the start over and over. The put-in location is a short drive from Columbus, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling spots. There are plenty of hotels here if you want to spend a night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.

Briefly about the general area:
This is a popular spot for folks from Columbus. High temperatures at Chattahoochee River through the warm months
 
are in the 90's, and through summer nights temperatures are in the 60's.
