Georgia whitewater - Cooper Creek, Blue Ridge Mountains, Fannin County Fannin county, USFS Route 33 to Mulky Creek Camp section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-III     5.2 miles   The scenic beauty of Georgia and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here. On this section you do get some distance, suitable for an afternoon trip. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so you'd better keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. You might have to settle for a hotel     a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The USFS Route 33 to Mulky Creek Camp stretch is the only paddling stretch along Cooper Creek. The wild scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains is great. This stretch of Cooper Creek is 5.2 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III section. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good rivers for that around here.
