It takes about 3 days for the water to reach Factory Shoals from the Hwy 29 gauge. If the level at Hwy 29 is over 3.2, then Factory Shoals will get to about 1 to 1.3. I have paddled this section three time recently at .8 ft and above. Most all the Channels open up on the Right side. The bottom ledge into the lake is shallow. There are several trees down blocking some of the channels.

I hit a rock every 20 feet down this very short little stretch of whitewater.  There are three little class 2 rapids above the bridge, and three class 3 rapids below the bridge.  The whole run is less than half a mile.  The ledges past the bridge are cool with good flows and can bump up to class 4 with flows over 1.8.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n        <tr>\r\n        \t<td>\r\n        \t<div class='commentinfo comment_'>\r\n        \t2005-07-27 10:52:44 (1121 days ago)\r\n        \t<div id='contact-4094' ><span class='name'>will reeves<\/span><span class='send-message'><a href=\"\/content\/Contact_view_contactid_4094_display_detail_.dialog\">Details<\/a><\/span><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class='commentbox'>\r\n\t\t\thttp:\/\/waterdata.usgs.gov\/ga\/nwis\/uv?02208450 is the gauge site for this reach\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n        <tr>\r\n        \t<td>\r\n        \t<div class='commentinfo comment_'>\r\n        \t2005-07-27 10:47:05 (1121 days ago)\r\n        \t<div id='contact-4094' ><span class='name'>will reeves<\/span><span class='send-message'><a href=\"\/content\/Contact_view_contactid_4094_display_detail_.dialog\">Details<\/a><\/span><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class='commentbox'>\r\n\t\t\tThe gauge is not very accurate since it is WAY upstream but he flow of the Alcovy in Covington (seperate gauge) is accurate for this section of river.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n        <tr>\r\n        \t<td>\r\n        \t<div class='commentinfo comment_'>\r\n        \t2005-03-18 18:53:47 (1251 days ago)\r\n        \t<div id='contact-1254' ><span class='name'>Daniel Fosbinder<\/span><span class='send-message'><a href=\"\/content\/Contact_view_contactid_1254_display_detail_.dialog\">Details<\/a><\/span><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class='commentbox'>\r\n\t\t\tWill,&lt;br \/&gt;\r\nThanks for all the pics but they need to be resized.

Per the way upstream Alcovy River gauge at north of Grayson (located about 6 miles below the Upper Upper Alcovy River\/Creek run) http:\/\/ga.waterdata.usgs.gov\/nwis\/uv?site_no=02208150 , the Alcovy River is HUGE at that upstream location so this weekend you should have a lot more water than 1.2 below the bridge at Factory Shoals on Alcovy River.  The three times I have paddled it it was between 1.2 to 1.6 on the bridge gauge and it was fun trying different routes including the boof move in the last rapid.  My understanding is the hydraulics start to get really big around 2.0.  The Upper Upper Alcovy run located between GA Hwy 29 and Alcovy Rd is possibly too big to run right now as most of the water is probably running through trees right now.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/td>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n      <\/table>\r\n      <a class='operations' href='javascript:aw.formathelper.dialog.process(null,\"\/content\/Comment_new_reachid_3372_section_river_notifylist__eNqrVipOTS7JzM9TslIqyixLLVLSUSpKTUzOyEwBihgbmxsBBQyAzLLM1HIg0xDIdM7PzU3NK3FPTElPLVGqBQC-cRR8.dialog\");'>Add a Comment<\/a>\r\n<\/div >"}],"script":["\t\t\t\t\tdojo.require('dojo.parser'); ","\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdojo.require(\"aw.formathelper.forms.dialog\");\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdojo.require(\"aw.widget.Dialog\");\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdojo.require(\"aw.formathelper.dialog\");\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdojo.require(\"dijit.layout.ContentPane\");\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdojo.require(\"dojox.layout.ContentPane\");\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t","\t\t\t\t\taw.formathelper.dialog.listener('comment',function(e)\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t{\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t{\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdojo.xhrGet({\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\turl: '\/content\/Comment_view_section_river_reachid_3372_.rawhtml',\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tload: function(data, evt){ dojo.byId('zzqlp8c2qbqkkpgCommentGadget1-1').innerHTML=data}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t);\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t); "]}
