Toccoa River is great. We have some friends who have a place on the river in McCaysville and we will go tubing down the river with a cooler of beer and food for the day. It's a nice lazy river up there.

We went down the broad river about 45 mins from Athens for a day trip. It was not too bad, there were a couple 2 or 3 foot drop offs but no major rapids.

Where at? Slow water?

We went for our friends birthday, she wanted to go to the link below. I was not looking forward to it but it was a blast. Water was mostly slow, but there were some quick spots. Nothing crazy, but we took our time.

What kinda gear do you take? I am completely new to the Kayaking but not the camping. I was thinking about a bucket of dehydrated packs for food. A Yeti would be nice for some ice and beer lol and coffee's a must!!!!!!!! Any tip's on good dry pack's and other tip's in general? OH and how is the fishing!?!?!??!?

I use a 5 gallon bucket with a gamma seal lid. you can pick one up at home depot for a about $7. As much as I hate to say it a cooler full of ice cold be isn't a practical option on a two day kayak trip. I usually take my 14' old towm if I wanna camp and have beer.

Haha, I thought you were asking if the water was slow. No brought our own food and beer. Maybe we'll have to try out slow water next time.
