Greenville county, Log Shoals Road to West Georgia Road section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

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

Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in South Carolina are easier than the national norm, so keep in mind that rivers here are not as hard as elsewhere. The natural beauty of Greenville County and the water flowing gracefully down Reedy River are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while have people coming from far and near. There's camping
    available near Reedy River. This is a bit of a short stretch so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. No shortage of good hotels, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. The Log Shoals Road to West Georgia Road stretch is one of
