Georgia whitewater - Towaliga River, Monroe County

Monroe county, High Falls section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS I-III+(V)     2 miles
  The wonderful Georgia scenery and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. This stretch of Towaliga River in Monroe County is 2 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class I-III+(V) section. If you're coming from Thomaston it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. This is a pretty short section so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has
    a pretty small number of paddling places. A good workout and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all
set. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Georgia you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so better not forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy.
