Trip Report

ReporterCharles McDonald

This is a very nice run for Middle GA. Some friends and I found it about 4 months ago and can't wait to get back out there when time permits. There is a way to make the run shorter (2 miles). This hits the best WW and cuts out the most flat water. The best water seems to be to the right of all islands as you go down the river with one exception (later explained). You know when you get to the Class III because the river gets really wide and there is a large horizon line. On river right there is a small island DO NOT GO TO THE RIGHT OF THIS ISLAND (short drop with a sudden stop). We always run just left of this Island. For a portage of the III exit river right; there is what looks like a hunting road that runs along the bank. I would say perfect level would be around 3000. I will try to get the short run put in up shortly.
