Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Georgia is often tougher than elsewhere, so better not forget that rivers here are less forgiving. The natural beauty of Georgia and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water make the trip here worthwhile. This section of Tanyard Branch is 0.33 miles long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class III-IV section. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, there are lots of good rivers for that around here. There are many good hotels to choose from, but you'd better reserve
in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The put-in location is a short drive from Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, as you can see on the road map further down. There are no other sections to paddle along Tanyard Branch than the above Dorsett Shoals Road section. This section
is very short so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more.
