There are some good stretches to paddle in this river system, the Banning Mill Road to Johns Mill stretch is one of them. This section is |
quite short so no need to bring snacks. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking in this general area you'll
| find lots of paddling rivers. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Georgia you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the sections here are not safe for beginners.
