Description
This is a destination paddle location that offers less than a half mile of whitewater in an awesome fashion. A very beautiful area that has a minimum influence from man. A good place to visit, if even just to see the gradient.
Put-in is uneventful below the GA 219 Bridge as is all the way to the falls area (half-mile). This is a nice place to see vertical drops without having to go north. All of this stretch of river has been done and at various water levels and is runnable. The geographical layout of the surrounding area makes this magnificent drop really stand out. Utmost caution should be used. Boaters have been successful here but at least on kid has died diving off the main drop only to hit the boulders just a few feet underwater. Below the big drop is solid III with slotted paths that easily make log jams. Scouting all runs is highly recommended.
Take out is biggest problem with this creek. The creek empties into backwaters of the Chattahochee.
The river left of the falls area is a girl scout camp that really enjoys keeping us off of their land. Any detected intrusion will result in a visit from the local police.
On a side note the creek claimed the life of a local young adult (03/01). Any negative activities in the local area is sure to exacerbate problems with local authorities.
