Combining and expanding the information from A Paddler's Guide to Southern Georgia and A Paddler's Guide to Northern Georgia, A Canoeing & Kayaking Guide to Georgia is the definitive guide to whitewater in the Peach State. This book continues to bring paddlers the best of Georgia's streams: from classics rivers, such as the Chattahoochee and Flint, to steep creeks like Overflow and Talking Rock. This guide offers helpful hints and the best suggestions for places to canoe and kayak. Ever have trouble deciding on a place to go canoeing or kayaking? From the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia to the Atlantic Coast of Southeast Georgia, this redesigned and completely updated guide to paddling the creeks, rivers, and coastal waterways of Georgia covers thousands of miles of paddling that range in difficulty from scenic floats down the Oostanaula to whitewater runs of the Dog. New maps; new river profiles; completely updated contact information; and at-a-glance data that includes class, length, time, gauge, level, gradient, volume, and ratings for solitude and scenery make this guide almost as indispensable as the paddle and life jacket.



Though always in love with rivers and wilderness, it wasn't until five years ago that Suzanne Welander began canoeing in earnest. Inspired by the beauty, variety, and challenge of Georgia's rivers and streams, the former desert-dweller transformed into a whitewater canoeist and wilderness tripper. Together with her husband, she trolls the state in search of the wild and scenic beauty only accessible by waterway.
