Trip Report

According to the new georgia guidebook, as of 2005 its legal for non douglas county folks to boat the reservior. We paddled the dog on Feb 7, 2005 when sweetwater was rising and close to 8 feet. The dog was at a nice medium level. I would have liked a little more water to pad things out some. The one rapid toward then end was getting into class 4 territory.
The boat ramp is presently closed from nov1 to mar 1. We paddled down to where they are doing bridge construction on hwy 166 and took out there with no problems.
Dog is a good run when sweetwater is starting to get up into the scary range.
