Level? Look for the Yahoola Resevoir Dam to be actively overflowing at the saw teeth.




Put In: Park at the public lot at the resevoir, and put in at base of the dam.




Baptismal Slides (II) This is the first real rapid you'll come to. Run it just about any way you want-no real hazards.




7-10 Split (II) This is a gnarly drop split by a boulder clog and a dead tree. The River Right line could be run at higher levels, but the river left line is your best bet. Its a two tiered drop of about 4 feet.




After that is nothing more than boogie water and flats until you reach the 'mighty' chestatee.




Could have fome potential for fun during flood levels, or if Lumpkin county ever needs to do a release on the resevoir.
