Chattahoochee

There are a set of concrete stairs and a small remnant of a platform.

The word is they are planning a new platform soon. 2022

River left Powers Island parking lot, the put-in most boaters use. Also the location of NOC's seasonal tube rental operation.

This alternative put-in works well if you're bike shuttling. Parking is close to the river bank. There are a couple good launch spots along the bank. The bike path runs through this parking lot.

Located on far river right below the Powers Ferry bridge.  This is one of the best holes for spins, cartwheels and loops on the river at lower playboating levels.  The hole is a dry rock below 1,500 CFS, but up to about 7,000 CFS it is an excellent playhole. Over 7,000 it is more of a wave.

First Set of Ledges. Above 2000 cfs the best surfing is on river left. Most of the flow goes far right through a class II chute with good eddies on both sides. Far left there is a short but good wavetrain at flows of 2000-4000 cfs.

In the flat pool between the first and second set of ledges theres a big eddy on river right beside a sandy beach. For the squirt boaters there is a very nice seam here. Downtime is possible.

The second set of ledges. Sometimes referred to as 'The Devils Racecourse' from an old William Neely map. The main route is a chute down the middle. Good eddies on both sides, good eddylines for squirting. Slalom gates are sometimes hung here in the winter. For those into attainments, the upstream move here is one of the hardest on the river.

Some surfing to be found on the left side of the island at low water and some side surfing holes on the right side of the island at high flows.

NOTE: There are some old metal ferry spikes, about 2' diameter, in the eddy on the left side of the island. There are three in a line perpendicular to the island. These are visible only at very low water, but they stick up about 12-16' above ground.

Big Rock outcrop on river left. Lots of drunk people jumping off it during the summer.

At high flows some surfing can be found.

Above the next big Island there is a nice big eddy on river right, just before the river goes around a right bend. Local expert squirt boaters get up to 10 seconds of downtime here.

For Squirt boaters who want to park and play there is the Whitewater Creek access point on River Left. The Whitewater Creek Road Parking area is on the left where Long Island Creek enters the river.

Parking area and access, river left.

As you come around the last bend in the river and the I-75 bridge comes into view there will be a Volkswagen sized rock on river right. There are strong eddy lines on both side of the rock for squirting. This boulder is mildly undercut, I don't recommend splatting the upstream side.

Paces Mill parking lot

Use the main boat ramp on river right. If you go under Highway 41, there is another boat ramp. There are no public access points for several miles after this.
