[@ArizonaKid]

Looks like outstanding stuff will be back later to watch more

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend! There is a lot of content here ranging from Kayaking, Hiking & Camping & Gear Reviews. Glad to have you visit and hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching my friend! Cheers

Nice ride! And now I have the opening riff to "that" country song on repeat in my brain! 😂

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Love it when that happens! Thanks for watching and the support my friend! cheers

[@atypicalhiker]

You are very fortunate. This was a good video.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend! This week, I took my father to Akers Mill Trailhead which runs along this area where the jumping rock is. We had lunch by the river and then hiked the trail along the river. He loves going back to places where we went over 30 years ago. Good times!

[@SANDTOUTDOORS]

Another great video with Pops! Keep moving guys!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

He loved it out there! 9 Miles was a little much for him but he loved every minute of being on the water. So many cool spots to check out in this section. Thanks for watching and the comment!

[@RVAHikerGirl]

Awesome yak trip with your dad. I need to get my yaks out for a paddle soon! Got a new car so trying to get use to putting them up on the new rack set up. I need a better camera setup. You would laugh if you saw how I had it jimmied up in the front of my yak. Its a hot mess! Another great video Metro!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

This was the run of the season and it’s getting hot out there in Georgia! Trying to upgrade my ride to a Tacoma so will be easier to get yaks in the back. I use the Yakima Jaylow systems and it’s easy to throw them on the rack. For the camera system, I mounted a GoPro adhesive mount to the top of the yak and use a jaws mount from GoPro set up for the camera and it works great on the river and on trail. Thanks for watching and the kind words my friend! Cheers!

[@BackpackingwithBuckley]

Someday I'll have to have you take me out. I've kayaked twice in my life in glassy lake water. This was cool bud!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Will do! This river is just a few minutes from my home and I am always out in this area. Can show you some cool spots all along this river my friend!

[@NickandRachel]

I need to get us a kayak! Haven't been in about 2 years or so. Used to do the ocmulgee river a good bit. Thanks for sharing!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Anytime my friend! Let me know when you get one as I can help with the shuttles!

[@NickandRachel]

@@MetroOnTheMove will do! Have you ever done the ocmulgee river?

[@MetroOnTheMove]

@@NickandRachel I have not! But definitely willing to travel to check it out!

[@NickandRachel]

@@MetroOnTheMove it's never crowded out there.

[@h-lorolltide92]

Just subscribed after watching a few of your vids over the past few weeks. I live right off Powers Ferry, know exactly the spot y'all floated by. Great seeing you out there w/your Dad!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend and I appreciate your support! My dad was super stoked to get back out there. At 70, he was a trooper to paddle 9 miles. Felt bad as at the end, he fell in the water and fried his iphone. I have taken him on a few adventures now, and he loves to get there when he can. This is such a great section of the river and we are always out there in some fashion. Love Interstate North for weekend hikes and such if we can't make it to the mountains. Thanks for watching and the support!

[@bkourplanet1652]

Wow looks so cool 🤩

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Great time out there! Definitely recommend checking out this section on the Chattahoochee River. Thanks for watching and the comment my friend!

[@compassconundrum7095]

Super cool that you and your Pops got out and had some fun together. If you ever come to Florida, hit me up, and we can explore some crystal clear springs. Citrus County is home to some of the best paddles on the west coast of Florida. Love the video and once again loved seeing you with your Dad having fun!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Will do my friend! Would love to check out more of what Florida has to paddle! This weekend, I took my father back to the trails along the river in this area and had lunch by the jumping rock. He loves the fact that he brought us to this point over 30 years ago.

[@PFAM5]

That was a great video! Looked like the scenery with the bluff was nice. Cool experience being on the water!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

This is a nice change to beat the heat of summer on the trails! Definitely recommend checking this section of the river out! Thanks for watching!!

[@sctenz]

Pretty sure there was a gator living in that stretch of river about 10 years ago. Nice video! Like the kayaking ones.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

I knew it! River gators are real. Had to get some water action in as the warmer months are here in GA! This was a great experience to share with my Dad as he had never paddled this area before. Thanks for watching and the comment! Cheers

[@BonedaddyToo]

Nice POV of the Hooch. Looked like a nice day for it too.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend! My dad had a great time out there!! First time for him in this section and the first time back on the water in five years. 9 miles was a big stretch but he loved it. Thanks for watching and the support!!

[@JBENHIKES]

Love a good float in the summer !

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Agreed! This is the best section of the Hooch. Crazy to think this river starts up in the mountains near Chattahoochee Gap on the AT.

[@SeniorHiker77]

Andy your Dad can't believe he jumped off that rock years ago. Lol

[@MetroOnTheMove]

My Dad was so excited to show me the spot that he pulled over on a island in the river to get out. Unfortunately, when he tried to get out of the boat, he fell in the river and it killed his iphone. Good times!

[@SeniorHiker77]

@@MetroOnTheMove I know he was pretty passed off loosing his iPhone now he can get a real android phone. Lol

[@MagellanandGreyhound]

Yup, we are totally doing this. We don't do white water much, but this looks like Class II? Didn't look too crazy, but not easy where you can just float LOL

[@MetroOnTheMove]

We saw an eagle 🦅 in this area last year in the 4th of July! Less traffic on the river from Morgan Falls to Powers Island. Not too crazy except for a few areas but should be fine. Just make sure to bring a PFD for each kayak as they are required in this area.

[@MagellanandGreyhound]

@@MetroOnTheMove too easy. We always wear one and store an emergency one in the kayak.

[@GratefulTrekker]

Fun I've rafted that section years ago was fun

[@MetroOnTheMove]

I think its the best section within the CHRNA! I also like the float from Island ford to the park. Good times! Thanks for watching!!

[@karlo8093]

That was pretty neat. Looks like y'all had a good time. I have some memories o the Chattahoochee from when I lived in Ga. as a kid, but it was a lot slower river I think. Enjoyed watching the vid. Bet you and dad had a good day

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you Karl! My Dad was stoked to get back out there after five years. The river current changes depending on the time of day due to the dam and what section you are in. On this trip, the water was up and definitely moving in some areas. Thanks for watching and the comment my friend! Cheers

[@carolinadust]

What a great video! This makes me want to get a kayak and hit the lakes here in the Upstate. Thanks for the great content, can't wait till the next one!!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Thank you my friend! This river is only a few miles from my house, so I am out there pretty often. Definitely worth getting a Kayak. The only downside is storing it which takes up a lot of space in the back yard/deck area. Other than that, worth every penny! Thanks for watching and the support!

[@chiking5792]

Sweet trip! Do you think Morgan falls to paces mills is doable for paddleboarders?

[@MetroOnTheMove]

It’s roughly 9 miles and it took about 4 hours when we went. That day, the wind was blowing against us so it took longer than expected to arrive. You can always start at Johnson ferry north or powers island if you want to shorten. Thanks for watching and the support of the channel. Cheers!

[@bestillonthetrail234]

Looked like fun! Don't like the idea of gators hanging out along the banks of the river though 😟.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

It was great to share this experience with my Dad! I was just kidding him about the City River Gators. I’ve never seen any but who knows. They might be out there! Hope you are doing well my friend. God bless!!

[@-CBA-]

GOOD STUFF JUST GETTING INTO IT MYSELF....

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Lots of great sections to Kayak on the Chattahoochee. Hope you enjoy the channel as there are several videos from these adventures. Thanks for the support!

[@seanwarnercpa8357]

Awesome vid. How long did it take you guys to go the 9 miles?

[@MetroOnTheMove]

About 3.5 hours. Thanks for the positive feedback and hope you enjoy this channel!

[@MetroOnTheMove]

[@certifieddinks3943]

Kayaking is just river hiking

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Agreed! They actually named this section of the Chattahoochee River a National river trail.
