High Falls section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS I-III+(V) 2 miles
If you're coming from Thomaston it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further down the page. The nature scenery of Georgia and the water flowing gracefully down Towaliga River are reasons enough to come here and paddle. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so keep in mind that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. This stretch of Towaliga River in Georgia is 2 miles long and it is classified
as a class I-III+(V) section by American Whitewater. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this area has a pretty
small number of paddling rivers. 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. This is a pretty short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times.
