When I went to Lula Falls, I was amazed! It was so beautiful. It was so much fun. As soon as my toes touched the water the sudden relaxed look on my face turned into the biggest smile. People say water doesn't smell. Well, it does. Lula's water smelled so pure! My time this weekend was amazing and I hope to go there again soon. If I had my pictures to put up I would. You should really put some input into going. Everything is worth it. Says |

The sections for whitewater rafting and kayaking here in Georgia are often more challenging than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving. The Lula
| Lake Road to Chattooga Valley Road stretch of Rock Creek in Walker County is 2.72 miles long and it is classified as a class V+ section by American Whitewater. This stretch is short so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. There are some good hotels near the river, but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. There are a few other stretches in this river system that can be paddled as | |

well. The put-in location is a short drive from Chattanooga, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. Some people prefer whitewater rafting
and some kayaking, either way this area has a large number of paddling places. Great exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near.
Briefly about the general area: You need
to have a look at Eagle Cliff since you're here at Rock Creek, and close by you hit upon good places like Payne Gap. A journey to Rock Creek wouldn't be complete without taking a look at Knight Spring.
