4 - Duncan Bridge to Belton Bridge (Lake Lanier)Class II(III)
11 Miles
Gauge Information
Chattahoochee
River DescriptionDue to the popularity of the "Upper Hooch" this run is often overlooked. The hooch continues with rapids similar to those found on the Upper Hooch till it is inundated by Lake Lanier. The run can be made shorter by using the access point at Heads Ferry on river left.Belton bridge is the final takeout before the river is inundated by lake lanier. The next bridge downstream is Lula bridge, GA 52. Unless the lake is really low, the rapids end at Belton Bridge.
This stretch usually gets run as the paddle out from Mossy creek. From mossy down are probably 4 good class two ledges with some good surfing.

Just below Duncan Bridge is a small, man made rapid that most people call the wave. At low levels, not much to talk about. At higher levels, I've seen people get stuck in it; could be a descent spot for a park and play. I go there to fish from time to time, and it looks pretty cool at higher levels. It is located at river left about 100 to 200 feet below the bridge. Edit

Take Highway 365 (what I-985 becomes after Gainesville) to Belton Bridge Road. (Intersection is in Hall County near Lula - second intersection north of intersection of Highways 365 and 52). Belton Bridge Road will become Pea Ridge Road at the entrance to Belton Bridge Park. Stay on Pea Ridge Road 1/2 mile or so to bridge over Mud Creek. Take-out on the left, just before the bridge, and includes a small parking area.

Quite a bit of new deadfall between Mossy Creek and Little John Creek confluences - especially river left - but easily avoided. Also some apparent new (Hurridcane Katrina related?)tornado damage at Mud Creek confluence, but does not affect flow, only view.
