Etowah Georgia River Mine Tunnel

Anybody Kayaked or Canoed through the Etowah River mine tunnel? There's some YouTube videos showing people go through it with no helmets, no headlamps, crashing, getting thrown overboard, etc.
I can only imagine if you went in with no headlamp and run into a big log jamb halfway. The rocks on the wall at the very end on the right look like a giant cheese grater.

That tunnel almost looks man made or cut, do you know the background on this ?

Yeah I would have a Qbeam strapped to my head going through there. Looks pretty bad arse if you made it but damn I would have to up my game before giving something like that a try.

I do it almost every summer on a kayak, you really just need a solid headlamp. As long as you tap your paddle on the sides of the tunnel to stay roughly centered the ride takes care of itself.
About halfway through there’s a bit of a drop-off/slide because they cut the tunnel from both sides and it didn’t line up evenly. It’s a bit disconcerting going in but you move through so quick it’s not a big deal.
Obviously don’t try it during higher water. There’s a log float before the entrance so you’ll be able to take a pause and judge for yourself
