     Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Apalachee River, and Cuscowilla Golf Resort on Lake Oconee is a delightful spot to get some rest. This lake is so wonderful. You can take a little journey to Dodson Pond Dam while you're here at Dodson Pond, and US Forestry Department is a good campground nearby. Dodson Pond is a good place to visit for more than one day, Lake Oconee Center is a good place to camp nearby, and playing  
   golf is lots of fun at Uncle Remus Golf Course.
Walker Lake is a nearby lake that you could pop by, and while you're here, you could take a look at Dance Branch. All the water falling down from the sky makes Dodson Pond a wet spot; during March this area sees the most rain, and the driest of the months is October. You just can't picture the amount of outdoors amusing things the area in close proximity to Dodson Pond has to offer. If you get bored of Dodson
 
               Pond, you could also stop at close by Ashurst Pond, and going for a hike on the Twin Bridges Trail is always a glorious adventure.
During the warm days of summer, highs typically are in the 80's at Dodson Pond while night lows are usually in the 60's. Highs through the winter are frequently in the 50's, and during the dark hours in the winter at Dodson Pond temperatures plunge to the 30's. This lake is so wonderful. There are some nice whitewater spots on Little River, and if you need a place to stay The Lodge On Lake Oconee is a wonderful choice. While you're here at Dodson Pond you will meet lots of folks from close by Milledgeville, and you can go for a hike on the Scull Shoals Trail.

Twin Bridges Trail
11 miles away
The Twin Bridges Trail is a bit strenuous and half of it is along the lake. It ends near a hunting camp where trash is dumped by campers. I really wish the trail were longer. USFS needs to consider walk-in camping with a parking area to require campers to walk 1/4 mile to the sites. The gate needs to be locked to the lakeside lots except for hunting season....

Little River Park has been totally renovated. The entire infrastructure of the park has been gutted out and replaced with new. We now have 130 FULL HOOK UP sites that provide 20/30/50 AMP service on every site.  All sites have cable TV hook-ups also.  A laundry facility has been completed with 3 washers/3dryers.  A brand new 24 X 30 picnic pavillion was just completed last week.  We have 5 docks that provide wet boat storage for our campers. WI FI is coming soon along with a fish cleaning station. Our daily rates are $35 for waterfront and $30 for an interior site. Weekly and long term camping is also available.

Apalachee River

Larry, The portion shown on the map is US441 AND US 129, they are the same from Athens to Eatonton, where 441 continues toward Dublin, and 129 bears right toward Macon, so the map is technically correct....The map is totally wrong. Macon highway is US441, NOT 129 as indicated....
