Itinerary: | |||||||
We'll float and paddle 10 miles from the small town of Euharlee, GA, just west of Cartersville, starting at the new ramp on Euharlee Road and run West and North on the Etowah to the Highway 411/20 bridge for the take-out. Please see http://www.notatlanta.org/euharlee.html for information about the town! There is a restored Covered Bridge and Museum crossing the creek just across the river in the town of Euharlee. We can enjoy it and lunch at Johnny Mitchell's Smokehouse after our paddle! This section of the Etowah is near Cartersville, GA just up I-75 from Atlanta and is a regulated flow from the dam at Lake Allatoona. It has a constant current, with Class I and low Class II's, to make for an enjoyable day for beginners and experienced paddlers alike. We'll see and experience pre-historic fish weirs all along the route as well as a Civil War era bridge that was once the longest iron bridge in the south. Be sure to keep an eye out for wildlife too! EVENT PLAN: Pace is moderate, I mean it! If you decide to run off ahead just let me know so I don't worry or have to look for you!
