regarding the comment 2009-09-17: be very careful about attempting to scout this ledge-drop on river left at medium to high flows. The rocks mentioned will be covered at the levels we normally run this, and the left side of this drop has serious pin potential. The only safe line to run this drop at high water is far river right, so scouting from the left bank will not be much help. Unfortunately this house has a new owner and they bought it during the drought, so they're not too familiar with boaters in their backyard. Try to be respectful, stay near the water when scouting or portaging, and be quick about it. If anyone has an encounter with this person I would like to be told about it - I live in this subdivision and can try to talk to them as a neighbor. Note that they own both sides of the river, about 2000 feet of frontage and the island downstream, and the property was being marketed as 'owning the river' because of this. I have not had the opportunity to speak with this landowner yet, but you should assume that they think they own the river bed and that you are trespassing even when you're in your boat on the water. Now that the water is back, I hope we can educate them on Georgia navigability precedent.
