Chauga River Kayaking: Personal First Descent 

Kayaked the Chauga on 3/9. The bridge gauge read 7” at put in, and 4” when we were off river. Cody and I kayaked, while Lauri, Bernie, and Sierra decided to raft. It was a nice day out. Light rain, light winds, minimal wood/strainers, and no portages in the kayaks. The rafters portaged one rapid, after some slight carnage at Blackhole rapid. It was the right call. Safety first. Most rapids are named. I haven’t found too many videos of the Chauga, so hopefully this is a helpful video for those wanting try it out. #kayaking #gopro #chaugariver #whitewater
