Loran Smith: The Soque

Related Topics: Clarkesville

CLARKESVILLE – While the Chattahoochee will always be my favorite Georgia river which flows out of the “hills of Habersham down the valleys of Hall,” there are several runners up—one of which is the Soque which is a grand total of the 28.5 miles in length. This means that the Mississippi is 82.1 times longer.

You find the plush “Viking Mississippi” plying the Mississippi; it measures 450 feet in length and 75 feet in width. The longest vessel you encounter on the Soque likely would be a 17-foot canoe.

I like the Savannah because of its history and its name.
