About This Access Site
Tree Farm Put-In is a whitewater put-in access point on Jacks Creek in Morgan County, Georgia. Jacks Creek is a medium-sized stream with a total length of 22.33 miles and features a significant average gradient of 15.5 feet per mile, indicating consistent whitewater characteristics throughout the run. The creek drops 347 feet in elevation over its course, making it suitable for paddlers seeking moving water and whitewater paddling opportunities rather than flat water recreation.

The stream has an average flow of 83.64 cubic feet per second and an average velocity of 2.15 feet per second, which provides moderate current conditions typical of whitewater creeks. The drainage area of 59 square miles supports reliable water flow, though conditions will vary seasonally. As a Stream Order 4 waterway located near the headwaters region of the system, Jacks Creek offers a relatively narrow, technical paddling experience with natural surroundings characteristic of upper watershed streams in Georgia's piedmont region.

Paddlers using this access point should be prepared for moving water conditions and potential obstacles common to whitewater streams. The proximity to the creek's source means water levels can fluctuate based on recent rainfall, affecting navigability and hazard levels. This put-in serves as an entry point for downstream paddling on Jacks Creek, and boaters should scout conditions and understand the full run before committing to a paddle trip from this location.
