Looking for Multi Day Float options in the Southeast

[Zach Matthews]

All:

I’m trying to come up with rivers in the Southeast where I can do a multi-day float in my Clack. The ideal place would have 2 non-developed campsites along the way, and no water above a class 2. I don’t actually care what we fish for. Looking for options in Georgia, Tennessee, or North Carolina first.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Thanks!
Zach

Zach,

You might want to consider the Tallapoosa River from just below Tallasee Falls (Tallasee, AL) to the confluence with the Coosa just south of Wetumpka. This is a 40 mile+ float with no interim access. Camping on sandbars. Upper sections hold good populations of Stripers, White Bass and Spotted Bass. Farther down is mostly Largemouth and Spotted Bass. No difficult water from the put in just below the falls all the way to the Coosa. There’s an excellent sandbar to camp on just below the confluence of Uphapee Creek where the river takes a sharp turn to the West.
