Toccoa

The Toccoa is a beautiful river with some great camping spots along the way, do be careful for nearly half of the river banks are privatley owned and there have been reports of owners with shotguns. Watch out for fisherman, sometimes they are hiding in nice eddy's hidden by the rocks. Generally this is a great river for people that are just starting out. A word of caution, in a matter of minutes (what feels like minutes) this river can scare up some nasty rapids if it starts to rain hard. I found myself going over margret drifts for the second time in a week.. only this time it had started raining within a half hour of puting in at Deep Hole. MD went from a regular class II rapid with some nice lines to a bucking menace with some deep holes and lines that run you into log jams on the right side. Other wise this river is absolutely a pleasure, and I know I will be going back.

A special thanks to the Forest Ranger that is in charge of Deep Hole, he was able to help us in ways that no one else could. :)
