Stanfordville to Lake Sinclare section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-II 3 miles
This stretch of Murder Creek in Georgia is 3 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-II section. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. This is a somewhat short section so you'll have
to walk back to the start over and over. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are not so many other good rivers for that around here. The scenic beauty of Georgia and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle.
This is the only paddling section along Murder Creek. The put-in location is a short drive from Milledgeville.
