Georgia whitewater - Little River, Putnam County

Putnam county, Glenwood Springs Road to Lake Sinclair section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 



CLASS I-II     3 miles
  The nature scenery of Putnam County and the cool fresh water beats anything. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Georgia are often more challenging than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. If you're coming from Milledgeville it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, as you can see on the road map further down. This is the only paddling section along Little River. There are many good hotels to choose from, but you'd better reserve in advance because these
    hotels fill up quick. This is a bit of a short stretch so better bring some good walking shoes. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. This stretch of Little River in Putnam County is 3 miles long and has been rated as a class I-II section by American
Whitewater. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area with not too many other rivers for that.
