Unless you go early mornings on the weekends or thru out the week isn't bad. I used to own a 17' Speed Boat and I would take her out of the water by 10:30 the waters would get so rough...
I keep my boats on Allatoona and would not recommend a canoe. A Jon boat maybe, but my small boat is a 23' Century and on busy days even that is ROUGH out on the main lines.
