Description
The South River is one of the most polluted rivers in the metro Atlanta area. At one point the flow was 90% sewer water. This might have improved but the stream still smells terrible. This run is a short section of the South that has easy access to some interesting shoals. The rapids known as Snapping Shoals are straight forward but become dangerous at high water. The first river feature is a small low-head dam almost immediately past the put in. I ran this at low water with no problem as it is very shallow and no hole could develop. The rest of the run is nothing but whitewater down to the confluence of Snapping Shoals Creek. Paddle a few yard up the creek to the road access and takeout.
