Georgia whitewater, Apalachee River Oconee county, Pot Leaf Shoals Apalachee park and play spot section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-III     0.1 miles   Larry, The portion shown on the map is US441 AND US 129, they are the same from Athens to Eatonton, where 441 continues toward Dublin, and 129 bears right toward Macon, so the map is technically correct. Says Bo The map is totally wrong. Macon highway is US441, NOT 129 as indicated. Says Larry The scenic beauty of Georgia and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream beats anything. The put-in location is a     reasonable drive from Athens-Clarke County, as you can see on the road map further down.
