The Chattahoochee River is the most important river in Georgia, providing transportation, drinking water and recreation. This section of the river takes you through rural areas southwest of Atlanta. In the wooded areas the banks are lined with a variety of hardwood trees. The paddle is very easy, with a couple small rapid sections, with rocks that are easily navigable, near the half-way point of the paddle. It is called the Georgia Power Run because the put-in and take-out points are at Georgia Power power plants.
