Georgia whitewater - Ogeechee River, Warren County Warren county, Jewell to 123 bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II(III)     5 miles   Do I need any special permission to take my two sons on an overnight canoe/camping trip on the Ogeechee River from Jewell to Hwy 123? Says Alan Hey, I'm new to Georgia. Back home in Texas we had lots of fun as a family going tubing on some mild white water. Are there any lazy rivers with some white water scattered throughout that are close to Milledgeville, Ga.? Says Tim Sure the short length is great for dodging deadfalls and dragging over logs. If they are true whitewater boats, they won't track quite as well in the long flat sections.     Overall, they'll be a lot of fun. Says butch I am in a group of 40 ish women who kayak flatwater often. We have ventured to Bryson City (Nantahala). We have 9.5 foot hard plastic kayaks. Will these work?
