The wonderful Lumpkin County scenery and the playfulness of the water have people coming here. A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near.

stretches in this river system. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling spots. The river winds through the Blue Ridge Mountains and you get
great scenery. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so better not forget that rivers here are less forgiving.
