Trip Report

This is the dam that I consider a mandatory portage
although it is only 12 feet high, the landing is very
shallow.
Put in here after portaging the dam on river right.
Don't dawdle as the police have ok'd a quick
portage, so don't abuse it. Run this rapid right of
center and avoid the island at the bottom
This is a view from the last rapid on the Cedar
Shoals run on the Yellow River below Porterdale,
GA. There is some nice surfing there at higher
water. Take out on river left at the parking area.
This is a picture of the dam which you need to
portage on river right.
This is the first rapid, put in on river right and run
down the middle. At high water a left channel
opens up.
After working through some boulders, enjoy the
surfing wave at the right levels.
This is a view from the river right side that you
would see from the road to help you identify the
run. You actually need to put in above the bridge,
then float the 100 yards or so near to the dam to
take out to portage. Do not carry all your gear
from your vehicle to put in below the dam as this
would be frowned upon by the police. They have
given us permission to quickly portage the dam on
the private property if we don't abuse it.
