The Yellow River from Five Forks Trickum to Annistown Bridge Road is 100% PRIVATE PROPERTY. This section has not been declared ''Navigable'' by the state. Accordingly, the public does not have a right of passage and any floating on this river section is criminal trespassing. I am a land owner on this section, and because the river has had such an increase in trash from people who illegally float the river, I have begun calling the police |
on anyone floating on the river in this section. Says Yellow River Landowner
Looking to find a kayak group around Snellville Georgia for the spring. Recently moved from Savannah and I am having kayak withdrawals.

The put-in is not too far from Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. This section has enough mileage for an overnight trip, so why not pack your | |
