Flint

Dad and I paddled from Sprewell Bluff to the outfitter @ GA 36 yesterday - the flow was about 2100 CFS on the online gauge. A lot of flat water, but not bony at all - no dragging. There were 2 decent rapids, a few shoals, and a few waves/holes that were surfable. I would rate this river II- at this level. Also - be wary of the 'map' and 'directions' tabs for this page - they show the put-in at the GA 74 bridge. If you put in there, it is about a 20 mile paddle - about 14.5 miles longer than the paddle down to GA 36 from Sprewell Bluff (which is about 5.5 miles). The outfitter offers shuttle, but we shuttled ourselves. It was still $5 per vehicle, plus $1 per boat to park at the outfitter (take-out), and $5 to park at the put-in at Sprewell Bluff. Be careful out there - my dad got a Staph infection from getting the water in a scrape on his elbow - nasty water.
