Frogtown Creek

In the boogie water after hallway on river right is a severely undercut rock. On 2/8/2020 a boater in his boat was pinned under the rock for an extended period. It was a very close call.

High Water Day

High Level

got on yesterday chestatee was at about 1000 and i would call it minimum

got on it 2/5/09-chestatee was about 3800 and light rain throughout the run. Perfect level

please don't leave cars at the steel bridge put in park at the highway and walk down it is not far and it won't get access shut down-be responsible or use the legal put in farther up

Yes it gets run whenever chestatee is over 1500cfs...but shhhhhh.....

You can scrape down it if the chestatee gauge is at 600 cfs, but any lower than that and it is not worth it. It is best to run it above 750cfs on the chestatee gauge, the more water = the more fun, but beware of strainers. There are only 2 mandatory portages,( a big log jamn and a small low hanging bridge) and most people portage the falls as well.

I'd say minimum is around 1000cfs on the Chestatee gauge

As of 01/18/06, several trees down in and above the water in the first half mile below the put-in.

mason on the first of the bigger 3 drops at the end. this is the left side slide. on the right is a slide into an 8ish foot drop into a very shallow pool
the left side slide

the right side slide of the 10-12 footer. you can run here or the boof in the left of center. its fairly clean but you still wanna get a decent boof

the 10-12 footer
the 40-ish footer. has a shelf on the left, a little kicker on the right. you`d wanna plug it pretty hard, the hit looks hard
