Chattahoochee

Did this run yesterday at dam release at just around 1300 cfs. We went from buford dam to abbotts bridge around a 15 mile run. It took about 4-5 hours. First 8 miles or about 2 hours was great. We didn't have to paddle until we met the occasional rapid and would float quite swiftly down the river. We only went through one good rapid I believe between our 2nd and 3rd mile which was a class III which was a blast. The last two hours of the trip however we had to continuously paddle to move at a descent rate. Had a great time and would recommend only at dam releases. Also there are no rental places that are allowed to rent you a kayak or canoe 2 hours before dam release.
