Canoe Riding in the Toccoa River Canoe TrailToccoa River Canoe Trail Information
The Toccoa River Canoe Trail starts at the Deep Hole Recreation Area and flows 13.8 miles to the take-out at Sandy Bottoms.  You'll enjoy views of forested public lands, pastoral private lands, laurel and rhododendron thickets, and their associated wildlife.  Coupled with great fishing and some rapids make this a perfect canoe trip.  This canoe trail is ideal for beginners and those who enjoy a less than vigorous float in a north Georgia Mountain River.  It is the only designated canoe trail in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests.  Open all year.
