Trip Report

The two rapids are where electric lines cross the river and are marginal Class II rapids. The trip from SR 135 to the Alapaha only takes about 1.5 hours of easy paddling, so the trip may be less than 4.5 miles. This river has no USGS or other gauges, but the Alapaha, into which it flows and which it parallels, does. The correlation obviously has weakness since the Alapaha has a much larger drainage, but the rapids on the Alapahoochee will likely be uninteresting when the Alapaha gauge near Jennings is below 63.5'.
