Description
Put in downstream of the Log Shoals bridge on river right.  Parking is available on downstream on river right.  Please be kind and do not block the private property entrance.  DO NOT access the river upstream on river right from the property with the large brick house. Take out just upstream of the West Georgia Rd bridge on river left.  There is a narrow access road but if you don't have 4WD you might be better served to park along the road. _Shuttle Directions:_  From the put-in, go west on Log Shoals Rd.  Turn left (at the blinking yellow light) onto Standing Springs Rd.  Continue straight when Standing Springs Rd becomes Holcombe Rd (you probably won't notice this change).  The road will end at a stop sign.  Turn left onto West Georgia Rd.  Parking for the take-out is at the bottom of the hill on the far side of the bridge, right side of the road. _Water Quality:_  Poor--The Reedy's poor reputation is due to the Colonial Pipeline oil spill many years ago.  Despite significant cleanup efforts from this spill, it still suffers as a river which runs through a city just begining to gain an environmental respect for it.  During rain, the river will spike with storm water.  A sewage line also runs along the river.
