The average Georgia whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners.

The nature scenery of Georgia
    and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water will make you feel great. The Mill Spring Academy to Riverside Road section is the only paddling section along Marsh Creek. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came. Since you're on
this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling spots. This is a very short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. There are plenty of hotels here if you want to spend a night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
