Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking around here you'll find a large number of good spots. Getting your paddling |
muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while will make you glad you came. This section is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, it's good length for a morning trip. The put-in location is a reasonable
| drive from Cornelia, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Georgia is often more difficult than elsewhere, so you'd better keep in mind that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners. There are so many sections to paddle in this river system, the USFS Road 44 to Robertson section is just one of many. Whitewater paddling here in the Blue Ridge Mountains | |
|
is a great experience. There are many good hotels to choose from, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set.
