A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Georgia tend to be more challenging than the national average, so better not forget that lots of rivers here are not for
    beginners. The Lake Russell to GA 105 stretch is the only paddling stretch along Nancy Town River. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. This is a pretty short section so no need to bring snacks. The nature scenery of Banks County and the beautiful
way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. Lodging is available near the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are lots of good places for that around here.
