KAYAK FAIL Do's and Don't On The Chattahoochee River

In this video, we cover some of the do's and don't while kayaking the Chattahoochee River. We put the boats in at Morgan Falls Dam and then Kayak approximately 8.5 miles down the river passing Johnson Ferry North and South, Columns Drive, Cochran Shoals, Powers Island, East Palisades, West Palisades, Akers Mill, Whitewater Creek and then take out kayaks out at Paces Mill. To add to the thrills of this adventure, I decided to take my wife's 10 year old Kayak on the water that I had never used before which led to some major issues on the water.

Nice 👍👍 Plenty of fun.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Loving this area as it provides so many opportunities to see wildlife in it's element. Definitely recommend if you are ever in Atlanta!

[@MinuteontheMountain]

What a great day on the water. Nice job, Metro.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

It was awesome to have the entire 8.5 miles to ourselves! One in a million chance!

[@hobofab]

Some nice little bumps out there to keep you awake.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Pretty chill but you definitely get woke up in a few spots. Its a must if you ever visit Atlanta!

[@TerryYoungOutdoors]

I kept hearing the Titanic theme song in my head as you were going through the rapids.😂 Great video, Metro!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Almost sunk the blue titanic...or this cheap kayak whatever you want to call it. We should have the Pinhoti Mafia shoot the hooch on our air mattresses.

[@wingmanhoy3999]

Awesome beautiful vlogging, kayaking and scenery, love kayaking, all the very best.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

It’s a lot of fun to kayak down the Chattahoochee River! Lots to see down this stretch for sure. Thanks for the support!

[@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING]

Nice place! I’ll have to come over there and try it. Well done. Crow✌️

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Working on getting another kayak soon so let me know. Would be a lot of fun to show you a few of the cool hiking spots along the river.

[@ervinslens]

This is brilliant piece of work my friend, atmosphere and overall filming are so inspiring here. 🔥🔥

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Lots of fun to have this river behind my house!

[@NickandRachel]

Definitely time to replace that lol Good thing you didn't take Rusty with you! 😅 You should take your own advice and don't die there 😅

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Yep. Don't die there is priority number 1! Except my friends are telling me to JUMP! Rusty would have freaked out if he was on that boat. He is taking lessons to prep.

[@cachemacstrailtime]

No one around on Memorial Day weekend by 8am. Man that must be nice.😅 We live close to Lifetime manufacturers, and they have killer deals once a year to unload inventory. Fun video!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend! If you ever make it out this way, maybe we can shoot the hooch!

[@cachemacstrailtime]

@Metro On The Move this year is booked, but I'll plan a trip out that way next year for sure.

[@bestillonthetrail234]

Looked like a lot of fun. Great river to kayak for a few hours. Your kayak looked very low in the water. Wouldn't want to be in any bigger rapids in that one.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Yep....now I am in the market to get a new Kayak. Wife took mine for good!

[@DaveOffGrid]

Wet and wild! Yeah the kayak seemed a lil small for ya bud! 😂 But gets the job done! Cool hearing about a different viewpoint on a lot of the spots you covered while hiking! You could be a tour guide!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Yes it was and now I’m in the market to buy another one. It’s fun to kayak by all these familiar hiking trails. Have this place covered for sure.

[@SANDTOUTDOORS]

Such a great place! I haven’t paddled that section since I was a kid. Definitely jump!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Let me know when you go!

[@GoneFeralWithSquidly]

I’ve been in rough seas before. It’s not for the faint of heart. I was sure you were going in the drink. 🦑

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Almost but no cigar....next time I am definitely going to sink the boat!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

That looked like so much fun!! You’ve got to jump off the jump rock!!!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Ok…you convinced me. Stay tuned!

[@BackpackingWithJason]

@@MetroOnTheMove 😁😁

[@MtnWanderer-TieDye-]

That looks like a bunch of fun! And don't jump. No reason to die like that. 😅

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Might have to jump…

[@JBENHIKES]

Don’t jump Metro !!!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Too late...video to come!

[@SeniorHiker77]

Why don't you kayak the high Falls damn.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Yep...not gonna happen

[@MtnWanderer-TieDye-]

Damn the high falls.
