The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Georgia are often tougher than in other states, so don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. This stretch of Little Towaliga River is
2.4 miles long and is a class III section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. This is the only paddling section along Little Towaliga River. The beautiful scenery of Monroe County and the playfulness of the water beats anything. If you're a camper you can camp at one
of the great campgrounds nearby. The starting location is a short drive from Thomaston, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are not so many other good rivers for that around here. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. This is a pretty short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over.
