Toccoa River Kayaking & Tubing

The Toccoa River offers some of the best paddling in the North Georgia Mountains. Several outfitters near Blue Ridge provide kayak, canoe, and tube rentals with shuttle service to put-in points. The river features a mix of calm stretches and gentle Class I-II rapids, making it suitable for beginners and families while still offering fun for experienced paddlers. The 5-7 mile float takes 2-4 hours depending on water levels and your pace. The river is surrounded by national forest, with mountain views, wildlife sightings (herons, kingfishers, occasional otters), and cool, clear water perfect for a summer day.
