Georgia whitewater, Flat Creek Hall county, GA 52 to Glades section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS II-III(V+)     2.1 miles   I live within 2 miles of Glade Shoals. It's private property, so it shouldn't be listed on here recommending visitors. The entire 6000 acres is private owned and monitored. Many have died there because of the falls and rocks. Says Jennifer L Collins The put-in location is a short drive from Gainesville, as you can see on the road map further down. The average Georgia whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be harder to run than     those in other states, so better not forget that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. The scenic beauty of Hall County and the water flowing gracefully down Flat Creek attract people from near and far. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling places.
