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? Says Hunter

please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. This section of Ogeechee River in Warren County is 5 miles long and it is classified as a class II(III) section by American Whitewater. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Georgia are often tougher than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. You
can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. This is the only paddling stretch along Ogeechee River. This is a pretty decent length section, you can easily run it on an afternoon. The scenic beauty of Georgia and the cool fresh water beats anything.
