This section of Hurricane Creek is 2.52 miles long and is a class IV(V) section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The starting location is a reasonable drive from LaGrange, as you can see on the road map further down. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. The natural beauty |
of Georgia and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water attract people from near and far. The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Georgia are often more challenging than in other states, so better not
| forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. This stretch is short so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging out with mother nature are great reasons to come.
