INFO: Are you relatively new to paddling a long boat? Do you want to practice attainments? Then come on out to the Metro Hooch to work on paddling upstream. The Metro Hooch is a class I-II section of the Chattahoochee River that goes through approximately 2.75 miles of Atlanta. This will be a good clinic to work on your power, strength, endurance, river reading, river running, and technique. It's a good step up to working on attainments on the Hiwassee. You must have a long boat and a reliable combat roll. We will meet at the Paces Mill Boat Ramp. Click on the link for location. Meet-up time is at 1:00pm. There is a $5/vehicle fee because it's in a national park.

This event is part of the summer training series after Paddle School. The training series is designed for beginner paddlers to practice and develop their skills to eventually run the Ocoee by the end of the season. They differ from Paddle School in that though no formal instruction takes place, the trips will have a trip leader and sufficient support boaters to assist in skills development. We will have fun, but this is not designed to be just a social gathering. We will work the river, not just cruise down it. You must be a TVCC member in order to attend, or you may register as a one time guest. Direct all questions to the trip leader or the training officer (training@tvccpaddler.com).
