CLASS II-III     5.2 miles
  If you're coming from Gainesville it's not a long drive at all to the put-in location, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. The beautiful scenery of Georgia and the water flowing gracefully down Cooper Creek attract people from near and far. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Georgia is often tougher than elsewhere, so keep in mind that the rivers in this state are less manageable. There
    aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. This section of Cooper Creek in Georgia is 5.2 miles
long and has been determined by American Whitewater to be a class II-III section. Getting some good exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the USFS Route 33 to Mulky Creek Camp section is one of them. The Blue Ridge Mountains scenery is wonderful. This section  
is long enough to enjoy a good non stop paddle, good for a one day paddling trip. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you'll find a large number of good places.

Briefly about the general area:
Chattahoochee National Forest is a great spot to pop by; do take a hike on the Duncan Ridge Trail. These mountains rock, just explore all the entertaining things to do in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Nearby Cavender Gap is a nice location to go if you're at Cooper Creek, and locations like Vogel State Park are great to visit. This river is so great.
