Take Out

Tiger Creek is a medium-sized whitewater stream located in Rabun County, Georgia, characterized by significant gradient and steady flow. This take-out access point serves paddlers completing runs on a creek system that maintains an average gradient of 7.3 feet per mile, making it suitable for intermediate to advanced whitewater enthusiasts. The creek originates in the headwaters region and flows through mountainous terrain with a total elevation drop of 178 feet over its 24.3-mile length, creating dynamic whitewater conditions typical of northern Georgia creek systems.

With an average flow of approximately 58 cubic feet per second and velocities around 1.28 feet per second, Tiger Creek provides consistent water conditions for paddling throughout much of the year. The drainage area of 67 square miles ensures reliable water supply from the surrounding watershed. Paddlers using this take-out should be aware of the creek's moderate slope and potential for obstacles common in Georgia's whitewater streams, and should verify current conditions before launching any trips.
