The Chattahoochee River is the most important river in Georgia, providing transportation, drinking water and recreation. This section of the Chattahoochee River offers an exciting run with rapids all along the way, seemingly at every turn. There are very clear waters and high wooded banks that offer beautiful mountain-like scenery. In the wooded areas the banks are lined with mountain laurel, sycamores, tulip trees, ironwood trees and white pine.
