Georgia whitewater - Snake River, Carroll County

Carroll county, Banning Mill Road to Johns Mill section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III+     3 miles
  This section of Snake River in Georgia is 3 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-III+ section. The average Georgia whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than those in other states, so keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. The wonderful Carroll County scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. A bit of exercise and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came. This stretch is short so no need to bring snacks. The starting
    location is a short drive from LaGrange, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. 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. The Banning Mill Road to Johns Mill stretch is the only paddling stretch along Snake River.
