Georgia whitewater - Dicks Creek, Blue Ridge Mountains, Lumpkin County Lumpkin county, WMA Gate to Waters Creek Campground section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS V     0.75 miles   Well if this is where the big waterfall is. No Iw ould not raft it. Besides if you went way too far down you will run into private proprrty and You will be in huge trouble! For below the falls there are deep pools w/ trout and signs to keep out. What a pretty picture to take. GO with the right person which in my case took the wrong person, Who likes to stop Fish for awhile, see a fall, go on to next stop.Rest, enjoy and move to Desoto or Helen etc. I plan for now on to go to this area of GA 2 to 3 times a year to see the views.
