This is a beautiful river trip to take with family or friends. Having just come from the mountains, the river now meanders through the farmlands, rarely exceeding riffles, shoals, and little rapids during normal flow (see note below). A bit of history: Gregory's Mill Bridge is named after the mill and gin that were once just upstream of the bridge. Just before the bridge, you'll notice remnants of the dam that powered them.
A bit of natural history: The Conasauga River is one of the cleanest rivers in GA. There is more variety of fish in the Conasauga River than there are in the entire state of CA! It's also home to mussels that were once thought to be extinct. It's a beautiful canoe trip, and we highly recommend the trip. We've done it many times. It can take a couple hours or a couple days, depending on where you put it. Check out the following website for some fascinating interactive footage and info. (visit link)
One more note: I'd recommend checking the water gauge of the river before your journey. For new or inexperienced paddlers, we would not suggest attempting the river if over 6' water level; flood stage is 12'. This web site will help you determine water level- (visit link)
