Trip Report

Reporter

Me and my girlfriend just did a two day camping run on this through the national wilderness part in a 1980 Mad River canoe with about 130 pounds of gear. This was at a level extremely low; I'm thinking 170 cfs at the very best. But even though the trip was hard work, I'll still have to qualify this as one of the best wilderness excursions I've had in a long time. It's technical to run this tandom with gear, but it can be done as long as you accept you'll have to walk your boat off rocks not too infrequently. No tree barriers are impassible unless you're in a large boat. The rapids are entry level, but I would recommend at least one person on the trip to have experience, because this could give the casual float trip seeker a really long day. If you're looking for some great Georgia scenery and wilderness, then take the trip. Just be prepared for the hard work ahead.
