Chattahoochee River in Georgia

Trip Overview

Yesterday my son and I had a nice all morning trip on the Soque (suh-kwee) River in NE GA. Nice quiet ride with mostly slow water with a few Class 1 shoals for a little excitement for a rec boater. We were the only ones on the river and the weather was great. Very little development, two or three houses. Nice granite outcrops and few sandy places to stop. The Soque merges with the Upper Chattahoochee and we took out at Wildewood Outfitters on Duncan Bridge Rd. You can make the whole trip in 1-2 hrs or dawdle eat lunch etc. Mind the posted signs (not too many there) Good day trip, no place to camp as far as I know.
