Georgia whitewater, Towaliga River Monroe county, High Falls section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.   CLASS I-III+(V)     2 miles   This is my first time kayaking. Is this river safe to do this week? Please leave comment. Says Aimee I've kayaked from just below the falls at High Falls lake to Georgia 42. It was a fun little run, but there were some schoals that I had to drag the kayak across. Keep in mind, I went in July, so the the river was down a little. There are a few small rappids and drop offs along the way, but nothing major. Overall, it's the best in     the area. Says Zach C. The put-in is not too far from Thomaston, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. The nature scenery of Monroe County and the playfulness of the water attract people from near and far. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. A bit of exercise and just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in Georgia is often tougher than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that many of the sections here are   not safe for beginners. The High Falls section of Towaliga River in Georgia is 2 miles long and has been rated as a class I-III+(V) section by American Whitewater. The campgrounds here at Towaliga River are pretty good. This is a pretty short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this area has a pretty small number of paddling rivers. There are some good sections to paddle in this river system, the High Falls section is one of them. Briefly about the general area: Here at Towaliga River there are plenty of people from Jackson; going for a hike along the Ocmulgee River Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this vicinity.
