Tubing the Chestatee River is the quintessential North Georgia summer experience.

– Marginal: 150-300 cfs
– Too low: Under 150 cfs
– Avoid: Over 1200 cfs

Gear List:
– Large inner tube or inflatable river tube
– Water shoes or old sneakers
– Waterproof bag for phone and keys
– Sunscreen
– Water and snacks
– Life jacket for non-swimmers

Shuttle Logistics: The Chestatee is a one-way float. Drop one vehicle at the takeout before putting in.
