The beautiful scenery of Georgia and the water flowing gracefully down Little Towaliga River make the trip here worthwhile. If you're coming from Thomaston it's not a long drive at all to the starting location,
as you can see on the road map further down. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Georgia are often tougher than
in other states, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners. The Rocky Creek Road to Higgins Mill Road stretch of Little Towaliga River is 2.4 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III section. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. This stretch is short so better bring some good walking shoes. Little Towaliga River doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Rocky Creek Road to Higgins Mill Road stretch is the
only one.
