the yellow river under annistown bridge is a nice run. very nice for being in the atlanta area. this is the second time ive been there, and the surfing was great. you put in right above a class 3/3+? waterfall, which is a great ride down. you drop and paddle right, left and youll get stuck on some rock. you go underneath the bridge and youll see a small ledge that makes for an awesome surfing wave. this has been great every time ive been out there, at even low water levels. the water quality hasnt bothered me as much as some people say, but what do i know about that. a bud and i ran the waterfall, worked on stern squirts, cartwheels, ect. below the waterfall and went down to the wave. the wave was running great. in his ego, he could surf straight ahead, but if i tried it (in a session +), my front end would just go under the water and toss me all around (it is shallow where the water comes down the ledge). it is an awesome wave to learn to side surf on, you can get into the river rt side of it and surf your brains out. just be careful if you flip, the rocks are just under the surface of the water below it, and they arent dull. my shoulder is still red and cut up from it. we surfed our arms out till they were tired, paddled down a little and worked on playing in the eddylines again. we pulled out and went home. for a near atlanta run, it is great. just park on teh side of the rd where there is a gravel 'road' up the hill to a parking area, and walk under the bridge down the little path to the river. great run. it is under the annistown bridge, you wont hear the waterfall until you get under the bridge.
