Dog

There's basically no information/photos on this run, so, here's a little more: We ran this today around 300 cfs on the correct gauge that you can find at http://waterwatch.usgs.gov/?m=real&r=ga&w=map. The correct guage is titled Dog River near Fairplay, Georgia. The river includes lots of class II stuff and a couple of class III's at this level.

This was my first time down, and I was really impressed by the river. The rapids are fairly technical. There are a few longer set of rapids with lots of eddies, ledges, and some waves trains. It's not all drop and pool like many of the II-III rivers in GA.

The river's a good time, when it's running. There is also about a mile of lake paddling at the end. Check out the video I posted on youtube (that wouldn't fit on this site) titled 'Bradley on the Dog River near Fairplay, Georgia' and a newer video from a fella I know https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqzbfHNQ0WE. His video was shot at 265cfs on the waterwatch gauge.

Update: There are now many videos of the Dog at low water (200-400 cfs) thanks to Josh Ames aka riversasquatch. The highest I've had the pleasure to run at has been a little over 500 cfs. The river is more pushy with bigger holes and waves, but nothing drastically different. Others I know have ran it up to 800 cfs (and once at 3600 cfs, which won't happend again). They reported much larger waves, holes, and push than at lower levels. The III+ rating is probably justified at these levels.
