Kayaking Georgia | Lake Chatuge | Hiked Bell Mountain in 4K!
Kayaking on Lake Chatuge is a great way to experience the beauty of the North Georgia mountains. With its crystal-clear water and stunning views, Lake Chatuge in Hiwassee, GA is a must see paddle destination for anyone visiting the area. There are plenty of outfitters in the area who can help you get set up with everything you need for a fun day on the lake. So grab your kayak, come along, and explore some of the most beautiful scenery in North Georgia!
We began this trip with packing our camping trailer to embark on our second weekend kayak adventure that included our "Glamping" setup! The drive up from Atlanta wasn't too bad at roughly two hours. We left after work on a Friday so we grabbed dinner en-route and setup our camp with headlamps and lanterns but since it's our second time using the tents and glamping gear we felt pretty accomplished!
For day one we took a drive and hiked up a short trek to the peak of Bell Mountain in Hiwassee, GA. The views were absolutely beautiful, met some nice folks up there, and enjoyed the aerial views with our DJi Mavik Drone. Afterwards we decided to stop into North Georgia's "Mile Long Yard sale' which was quite the experience but with kayaking in mind we didn't stay too long. We spent our evening kayaking our side of the lake (on the right of the bridge), did some fishing, and enjoyed the sunset. Camp fire and s'mores followed!
On day two we decided to take a late Sunday drive home to enjoy the area as long as possible. We made breakfast, relaxed in hammocks for awhile, and took off on a longer paddle under the bridge and out into the other side of Lake Chatuge! We found a fun little island with a nice beach spot, spent some time fishing and wading in the water, and paddled back into camp. We enjoyed the evening before packing up and heading home! It was a beautiful weekend, the mountains surrounding Lake Chatuge were amazing, and we really enjoyed the lake.

    Gorgeous boat. Beautiful resto work. After watching this, I'm missing my late 60's Glastron Jetflite. That little 14' 2+2 with a 75hp Johnson Stinger was a wake jumping fiend! I recall following a big aft-cabin jumping a three foot swell when the hull split. Luckily the boat had a crazy amount of flotation in it and was able to make it to a beach. With the help of a few beachgoers, we were able to tilt the boat onto its side to drain the water out and used duct tape to patch it just enough to get back to the trailer. Duct tape was our go-to before there was Flex Seal. LoL. Nice boat. Beautiful. Memories...

      Because those boats don’t weigh a ton or produce a 3 foot wave that destroys everything around it and they can’t charge 150K for it. Also not enough room to fit a huge stereo and speakers to annoy everyone else on the lake. Lol

      The parking and shuttle for this piece of river is awesome, you put in by the little walkway bridge. drive the car down less than a mile and drop it, catch a ride back with the shuttle company, and enjoy the next 3-4 hours floating until you hit the takeout! its a great spot!

    • @RoadLessTrekked
      @RoadLessTrekked 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you and yes chestatee Adventures provides the shuttle, its very casual if you have your own kayaks and always available! Just pull up and drop your gear, go park, and buses are going all day during the summer, hop on the next one back. If you don't have a kayak they rent tubes and kayaks, but the tubing is very short, highly recommend the yak route!

      So we currently have a GoPro 8 and a GoPro 9. On the 9 I have a “media mod” which adds a better quality mic to the GoPro. The advantage of the 9 is the forward facing screen, and with every generation the stabilization seems to get better! I am hoping to add a 10. I’ve found you can eventually use 3-4 of them if you want to have a few statically mounted, and a few to record with to have more b roll at the end of your trip. Hope that helps!

    GOOD EDITING MAKING MY FIRST TRIP VIDEO THIS WEEKEND

    • @RoadLessTrekked
      @RoadLessTrekked 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the comment! Every video we shoot and edit it gets better. The lake chatuge trip is my best, just put it out last night. Used canva to add an end screen custom to our channel, intros smooth, gotten good on when and where with transitions. Using epedemic sound for music and also throwing in sound effects like campfire, birds, waves on the lakes, subtle but nice. We also just shot the last two videos with our drone and gopros in 23.96 fps at 4k and I think it looked really smooth in the lake chatuge trip. I never realized that was a thing and had been shooting in 30 fps 4K but truly like the smoothness of the video at the 23 setting. Using Adobe premier for editing and that learning curve is steep, year and a half and I’m still learning things every time! TGIF for TH-cam how to videos. Lol
