Georgia whitewater, Yellow River

Gwinnett county, Arnold Road to Annistown Bridge section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     10 miles
 
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. 
Says Dawn O'Connor

The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. 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.
