CLASS II+(III)     2.6 miles
 
Have floated this section several times. On 6-10-07 put in W. Ga. to New Harrison, also good float, a few trees. typ. Says Clifford DeYoung

The starting location is a reasonable drive from Greenville, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The Log Shoals Road to West Georgia Road stretch of Reedy River is 2.6 miles long and it is classified as a class II+(III) section by American Whitewater. The beautiful scenery of Greenville County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons
    enough to come here to paddle. This section is quite short so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature have a lot of people coming here. There are a few other stretches in
this river system that can be paddled as well. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in South Carolina are often easier than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are pretty easy. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll find lots of paddling spots. There are many good hotels to choose from, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.

Briefly about the general area:
A short spree to Dacus Shoals is
 
always worthwhile. For the period of the summertime months at Reedy River temperatures are mostly in the 80's, and the night is fairly colder of course, typically in the 60's.
