First Spot: Sandy Springs

The first and most frequented spot for me personally is about a two hour float from Morgan Falls Damn to Johnson Ferry Rd. If you look to the map posted below you will see the area that this covers. I will now explain further the parking situation. The bottom of your float is Johnson Ferry Rd. so it is necessary to drive there first and park a car in the lot which costs 3 dollars although you can buy an annual pass for 25 dollars. (I know I said free but in a group this 3 bucks is negligible especially since its going to the actual park and people who take care of the Hooch). The lot is the first right (first traffic light as well) after passing over the river going West on Johnson Ferry. If going East, you will take a left at the light right before the bridge. Leaving the lot to go to the Morgan Falls you will make a left at the light and the first left after the bridge onto Riverside Dr. You will ride between 5 and 10 minutes on Riverside until you get to Roswell Rd. and make a left. It is not far from there that you will make another left onto Morgan Falls Rd. This road is kind of small and takes a few minutes to go down, but you just keep going as far as you can until you get to the damn and a gravel parking area. You most likely see others doing the same once you get to this lot. I hope this helps and feel free to contact with questions or suggestions for other areas to post.
