Soque River
The Soque is a northern Chattahoochee River tributary with two lives. The top section, a Class I-II mountain stream near the border of the Chattahoochee National Forest, serves up a delightful tour of mountain forests on a flow volume similar to the upper Chestatee, with less dramatic thrills than the nearby upper Chattahoochee.
