Wilson Shoals WMA section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-III+ 2 miles
The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Cornelia, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good rivers for that around here. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. If you're a camper
you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The beautiful scenery of Georgia and the cool fresh water are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. This stretch of Hudson River is 2 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-III+ section. There
are no other stretches to paddle along Hudson River than the Wilson Shoals WMA stretch. This is a short paddling stretch so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
