Fulton county, Mill Spring Academy to Riverside Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS III-IV     1 miles
  The Mill Spring Academy to Riverside Road section of Marsh Creek in Georgia is 1 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III-IV section. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, as you can see on the road map further down. No need to look hard for hotels, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature have people coming from far and near. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this is an area
    with plenty of rivers for that. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. The beautiful scenery of Georgia and the sparkling of the
sunlight on the water have people coming here. This is an extremely short stretch so better bring some good walking shoes. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground.
