Popularized by the movie Deliverance, undammed mountain river in north-northeastern Georgia is known for spectacular scenery, exciting whitewater and a true wilderness experience.

Etowah River
Beginning in the Chattahoochee National Forest, river was named for Etowah Mounds, the historic center of the Cherokee nation. The 16.4-mile section from Hwy. 52W bridge to Hwy. 136 bridge runs slowly but the pace quickens before 10-foot Etowah Falls which must be portaged. Below the falls, paddlers encounter numerous class I and II rapids, shoals and Yucca Island. Across from the island is a tunnel dug by gold miners. After this, the river mellows, and only class I Garmon's Mill Rapid remains before the take-out point. Counties: Lumpkin and Dawson. Length: 16.4 miles.
