Verner Mill Road to Blackwell Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-III(IV) 3 miles
Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more forgiving than the national average, so if you're not from around here don't forget that a large number of rivers in this state are quite easy. The Verner Mill Road to Blackwell Bridge stretch of Chauga River in South Carolina is 3 miles long and it is classified as a class II-III(IV) section by American Whitewater. The natural beauty of South Carolina and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep
you coming back for more. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. The Verner Mill Road to Blackwell Bridge stretch is one of many paddling stretches
in this river system. This is a somewhat short section so no need to bring snacks. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of rivers for that. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Seneca, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby.
