This stretch of Chattahoochee River in Georgia is 0.2 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class II(III) section of whitewater. There are plenty of hotels here if you want to spend a night, but do book a room before you come because it is a     very popular destination. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are great attractions for lots of people. The campgrounds here at Chattahoochee River are pretty good. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as well. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking this is an area with plenty of places for that. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so don't forget that a lot of the rivers here are not suitable for beginners.
