Georgia whitewater - Ogeechee River, Warren County Warren county, Jewell to 123 bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II(III)     5 miles   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 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 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 The average Georgia whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners.
