From its headwaters on the southern slope of the Tennessee Valley
divide near Dahlonega to its confluence with the Oostanaula to form
the Coosa in Rome, the Etowah is a river full of interesting
surprises. Paddle over Native American fish weirs and past the
Etowah Indian Mounds, one of the most intact Mississippian Culture
sites in the Southeast. See the quarter-mile tunnel created to
divert the Etowah during Georgia's gold rush and the pilings from
antebellum bridges burned in the Civil War. This guide offers all
the information needed for even novice paddlers to feel comfortable
jumping in a boat and heading downstream, including detailed,
accurate maps; put in/take out and optimal river flow information;
mile-by-mile points of interest; and an illustrated natural history
guide to help identify animals and plants commonly seen in and
around the river. A fishing primer offers tips to understand the
habits of some of the many native fish species found in the Etowah,
from trout in the river's upper reaches to bass and bream in the
midsection and catfish and drum below Lake Allatoona. Along the
way, river explorers will come to understand the threats facing
this unique Georgia place, and the guide offers suggestions for how
to take action to help protect the Etowah and keep its beauty and
biodiversity safe for future explorers.
