Historic Etowah River always delivers an adventure. This route was a new section for me and my buds. And we were all ALONE! Launched in Dawsonville at Kelly Bridge Canoe and Kayak Ramp, paddled 7-miles to the takeout at Eagle’s Beak Park in Bal Ground, GA. The impact of Hurricane Helene was obvious, as the riverbanks were covered with beautiful white sand. This section was swifter than expected, making it easy to float down the river. Sidekick Joe pulled in a couple of nice Spotted Bass. About halfway down river we started hearing significant gun fire from the River Bend Gun Club, making for a surreal nature scene. The TAKEOUT at Eagle’s Beak Park has a new Kayak/Canoe Pulley which worked great! It’s a steep concrete stairway, so the pulley was a godsend. This is a perfect EASY to MODERATE level kayaking adventure. I filmed in 4K:60FPS so make sure to optimize your viewing experience and set your device to the highest resolution setting of 2160 if possible.
