Toccoa

A canoe should be fine. A canoe with a keel might not be the best choice, but even that should be OK, as long as you have some river experience (the keel makes it difficult to quickly turn the canoe - very important in fast water). 400cfs is fine, any less and I'd think twice, expecially if you've never done this section before. I've done it at 335, but it wasn't fun. If you put in at Deep Hole by 9 am, you'll make it to Sandy Bottom in plenty of time to make it to the Toccoa Riverside Restaurant for an early dinner. Please remember that you will be out in the wilderness for most of the trip. No cellphone service, and a VERY long hike. Take friends in a second canoe in case you have problems. But definately worth the trip!
