The wonderful Georgia scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. This section of Yellow River is 37 miles long and has been rated as a class II(III) section by American
Whitewater. No shortage of good hotels, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. There's camping available near Yellow River. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend some time outdoors have a lot of people coming here. Some
people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. There are a few other sections in this river system that can be paddled as well. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so you'd better keep in mind that many runs in this state are not easy. A stretch this long is of course too much for a one day trip, perfect for a real wilderness adventure.
