Georgia whitewater - Lazer Creek, Talbot County

Talbot county, Hendricks Road to Flint section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     10 miles
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Georgia is often tougher than elsewhere, so better not forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. The Hendricks Road to Flint stretch of Lazer Creek is 10 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II-III section of whitewater. The put-in location is a short drive from Thomaston, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. If you have the time you can make this a two day
    trip, so go ahead and pack your sleeping bag. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. The natural beauty of Georgia and the water flowing gracefully down Lazer Creek have people coming here. The
nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Lazer Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Hendricks Road to Flint stretch is the only one.
