Kayaking / Rafting weekend

July 28, 2008 | Atlanta

My brother-in-law, Bill Privette, set up a weekend of camping, hiking, kayaking and rafting in SC with all of the Privette family.  We drove 2.5 hrs north of Atlanta to pick our camp site on the bank of the Chattoga River in Long Creek, SC.  We set up camp, made a fire and relaxed by the fire.   The next day we went to Chattooga Whitewater Outfitter and got outfitted with our sea kayaks. [About Kayaking]. We drove about 4 miles to Lake Tugaloo and put in.  The great thing about the lake is that they do not have any construction on it and do not allow any boats with motors over 20 hp on it.   If you want a quite relaxing lake to kayak or fish on … this is it!  We also found a beautiful waterfall that must have been 100+ ft tall and we also found a great rope swing… reminds me of when I was a kid.
