Chattahoochee

Run this section from Wildwood to Heads Ferry 2 to 3 weekends a month spring through early fall. Funniest rapid on the river as far as running down it in my opinion is in this section. We call it the Jimmy Martin rapid as that is the homeowner on river left at the top of the rapid. Run it river right, but up against the rock outcropping in the middle of the river. Good long drop with a nice wave at the end. There is also a three way split about half way down. At low levels run the right channel. At higher levels run either middle or left. The left channel has the biggest drop at the end but the gauge at Wildwood needs to read at least 1.5 for this to be fun. The middle can be run at any level and is probably the best approach for beginners. A nice little drop. We run this section with any age group alone on sit on top kayaks. We have 8 year olds to 60 year olds run this section with us. Good fun to get your kids into kayaking or canoeing. My favorite section of the upper Hooch.
