About This Access Site
This is a whitewater take-out access point on Mill Creek in Murray County, Georgia. Mill Creek is a medium-sized river with a total length of 14.02 miles and a significant gradient of 13.9 feet per mile, indicating moving water suitable for whitewater paddling. The creek drops 195 feet in elevation over its course, making it an interesting option for kayakers and canoeists seeking moderate to fast-moving water. The average flow rate of 91 cubic feet per second and velocity of 1.28 feet per second provide decent current for paddling activities.

As a take-out point, this access is designed for paddlers finishing upstream runs on Mill Creek. The location sits within a drainage area of 118 square miles and represents a lower portion of this headwater stream system. Paddlers should be aware that this is a whitewater section of creek with an above-average gradient, so some technical paddling skill may be required depending on the specific put-in point chosen upstream. Water conditions can vary seasonally and with rainfall, so checking current flow rates before paddling is recommended.
