Hwy 74 to Flint River
January 1, 1900
Trip Report
| Reporter | Robert Maxwell |
Just downsteam of the Hwy 74 bridge is the first rapid. The more challenging section of the falls can be found on river right. Mark Hicks and Peter Horne take different lines throught the falls. Of course more lines open up with more water.
Just downstream of Hwy 74 on river right is a fun little ledge drop. Its not as challenging as what you'll find on far river right, but its still fun. If you do run the river right falls, paddle back to river left and do the easy hike up to run this drop. Its worth the effort.

One of the most powerful rapids on Potato Creek is Dudley's Demise. Its also one of the better play holes at lower levels.

Mark Hicks runs the top part of the GA 36 rapid. You can see the GA 36 bridge in the background. If you are taking out at GA 36 hike back to the bridge on river left as close to the river as possible. It is private property and the land owners have been nice so far.
