The Ocmulgee River (/ɒkˈmʌlɡiː/) is a western tributary of the Altamaha River, approximately 255 mi (410 km) long, in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is the westernmost major tributary of the Altamaha.[1] It was formerly known by its Hitchiti name of Ocheese Creek, from which the Creek (Muscogee) people derived their name. The name of the river may have come from a Hitchiti words oki ("water") plus molki ("bubbling" or "boiling"),[3] possibly meaning "where the water boils up."[1]
The Ocmulgee River and its tributaries provide drainage for some 6,180 square miles in parts of 33 Georgia counties, a large section of the Piedmont and coastal plain of central Georgia.[1]
The river rises at a point in north central Georgia southeast of Atlanta, at the confluence of the Yellow, South, and Alcovy rivers.[1] Since the construction of the Lloyd Shoals Dam in the early 20th century, these rivers join as arms of the Jackson Lake reservoir.[1] The river's source is formed at an elevation of around 530 feet above sea level.[1]
The Ocmulgee River flows from the dam southeast past Macon, which was founded on the Fall Line. It joins the Oconee from the northwest (241 miles downstream from Jackson Lake) to form the Altamaha near Lumber City.[1] The Ocmulgee River Water Trail begins from Macon's Amerson River Park to the confluence near Lumber city and Hazelhurst, encompassing approximately 200 miles.[4]

This is my first time back in the Zet in 6 months!
I had a knee injury, which is why I've only been doing flatwater kayaking and whitewater rafting over the last 6 months. I'm slowly getting back into whitewater kayaking.
I also went upstream a little bit so I could come back down.
I encountered the most beautiful algae!

The paddle we found ended up belonging to some stranded fishermen we paddled past.. who gave us no signal or indication that they were in trouble. We ate lunch near them and played in some rapids near them. They appeared to be casually fishing, and didn't try to get our attention. They called 911 for help, which explains the emergency vehicles near the end.
