Toccoa

Took several buddies from work down this section of the river (Deep Hole to Sandy Bottom) May 29-30, and camped at the swinging bridge. Water level was around 335 cfs or so. I was a little worried but, despite a few scrapes over some rocks early on, we didn't have any real problems due to the low water level (of course, it would have helped if we hadn't lugged so much gear in the canoes!).

Found some serious littering from previous campers at the bridge. We cleaned up what we could. Otherwise, the entire trip was almost pristine.

The deadfall Rick mentioned, just past the bridge, was easily passible by ducking under it. At higher water levels, it will cause problems, but portaging should be fairly easy there.

This section can be done in 2 very easy days, or even in one day if you're in a hurry (maybe 8 hrs?). During our trip, water averaged 3-4 mph most places, 4-5 in some.
