Toccoa
River Canoe Trail Guidelines & Regulations
Permission is needed from the landowner for camping, fishing, or entering onto
private land for any purpose.
According to state law, permission is needed from the landowner for fishing from
the river in a boat, tube, or any other floating device when land on both sides
of the river is privately owned.
Respect private property owners, and public property.
According to Forest Service's attorneys and the USDA Office of General Council,
the public has the right of passage on the Toccoa River as long as you do not
enter onto private land without permission. This means that you can float
through private land, but must have permission from the landowner for any other
activities on their property, including fishing from the river in a boat, tube,
or any other floating device where both sides are privately owned.
National
Forest System lands are open to camping, hiking, fishing, and picnic activities.
However, you are responsible for removing all trash.
Fishing Regulations are enforced according to state law. See the Department of
Natural Resources Fishing Regulations for specific information about fishing
where the private landowner owns both sides of the river. Fishing is
allowed on segments of the river where one or both sides are National Forest
System Lands, provided anglers are legally licensed and comply with all state
fishing regulations.
Life preservers should be worn by all persons floating the river.
Forest Service developed canoe access points along the river are located at Deep
Hole Recreation Area and Sandy Bottom River Access.
