Trip Overview
Relaxing recreational kayaking trip 13-miles Ball Ground to Canton, GA. Fun cruise, very scenic, with big ending passing under I-575, what a contrast.
I'm attaching a movie I made from this trip. It's on my YouTube Channel @RedKayakGuy-RKG along with playlists for 39-miles of the Etowah River (Dawsonville, Ball Ground, Canton, Euharlee, Kingston, GA), 48-miles of the lower Chattahoochee River (Buford Dam to Paces Mill), 6-miles of the Chestatee River (Dahlonega, GA), and 7-miles of the Toccoa River (Blue Ridge, GA).
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions. Thanks, and I'll see you on the river!
