Description

Lurking just out of site is a monster rapid. Atomic Dog Falls is a set of drops. The first is about 30-40 foot slide that feeds into a 16-18 foot drop with a very shallow landing zone. With only one known run, and possible property/ access issues, who knows when Atomic Dog Falls will see a second descent. Paddling this into lake lanier is possible, I would recomend not putting on above the falls. If you are not running it, the portage would be pretty brutal.
