Georgia whitewater - Little John Creek, Hall County

Hall county, Skitts Mountain Road to Chattahoochee section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 
  Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Georgia tend to be more challenging than the national average, so better not forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The natural beauty of Georgia and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. This is a somewhat short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are lots of good places for that around here. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll
    have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The Skitts Mountain Road to Chattahoochee stretch is one of a few paddling stretches in this river system. The starting point is not too far from Cornelia, if you're not familiar
with the area there's a road map further down the page. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby.

Briefly about the general area:
For the period of the long summer days here at Little John Creek, high temperatures typically reach the 80's. Once the sun is down it descends down to the 60's.
