CLASS III+     2.5 miles
  The starting location is a short drive from Gainesville, as you can see on the road map further down. The wonderful Hall County scenery and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The average Georgia whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so keep in mind that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good places for that around here. This is a pretty short section so you'd
    better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. There's camping available near Little
River - East Fork. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. Great exercise and spending some quality time in nature are great attractions for lots of people.
