RIVER DATA
 | Kinchafoonee Creek
|
The float would be over two sections. Section 1 looks to be
about 11.5 river miles and starts at the put in bridge on GA hwy. 118 (about midway
between Smithfield and Bronwood) and proceeds down to Prison Road bridge which is a little
over mid-way of the float. Section 2 appears to be about 9 river miles and covers
from the Prison Road bridge on down to the take out at GA hwy. 32 bridge near
Leesburg. The sandbars start about a mile downstream of the Prison Road bridge and
stretch about 3 miles. Camping midway on that stretch would mean about a 6.5 mi.
paddle (about 3 hrs.) to take out Sunday morning.
