| Account | This is the dam that I consider a mandatory portage although it is only 12 feet high, the landing is very shallow. Put in here after portaging the dam on river right. Don't dawdle as the police have ok'd a quick portage, so don't abuse it. Run this rapid right of center and avoid the island at the bottom This is a view from the last rapid on the Cedar Shoals run on the Yellow River below Porterdale, GA. There is some nice surfing there at higher water. Take out on river left at the parking area. This is a picture of the dam which you need to portage on river right. This is the first rapid, put in on river right and run down the middle. At high water a left channel opens up. After working through some boulders, enjoy the surfing wave at the right levels. This is a view from the river right side that you would see from the road to help you identify the run. You actually need to put in above the bridge, then float the 100 yards or so near to the dam to take out to portage. Do not carry all your gear from your vehicle to put in below the dam as this would be frowned upon by the police. They have given us permission to quickly portage the dam on the private property if we don't abuse it. |
