Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue. This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary. | |||||||
| Itinerary: | |||||||
Join us as we paddle the Etowah River from the lower side of Allatoona at Hardin Bridge. We'll be paddling the Hardin Bridge section. The Etowah Water Trail site describes this section as: This ten-mile section may be the most scenic and popular paddle on the Etowah River in Bartow County. The paddle path crosses no less than six Native American fish weirs and winds beneath riverside bluffs. The highlight is a quarter-mile rock garden followed by a series of islands and shoals. With many places to stop and play, this is a favorite paddle for families. Some residential development encroaches on the river in places, but the river maintains a rural feel. Shoals and rapids are limited to Native American fish weirs and small shoals with no obstacles exceeding Class I in difficulty. This is a BYOB paddle, and you must have a PFD with you. Launch Site: A boat ramp and parking area were developed by Bartow County and the City of Euharlee at Euharlee Road Take Out Site: Located southeast corner of the US 411 Bridge http://www.etowahwatertrail.org/wp-includes/pdf/guides/hardin-bridge-guide.pdf
