River floating

Great Experience Kayaking!

We had an amazing and relaxing time kayaking. The owners were helpful, kind, and extremely accommodating. In fact, how we were treated by the family owners motivated this review. We opted for the three mile trip which was just perfect. As soon as we were...More

Best North Georgia Tubing Experience

I've been tubing in North Georgia many times but this has been the best experience so far. The Cartecay River is clean with lots of fun rapids but also has lazy spots that are deep enough to soak in. You also don't have to worry...More

Peaceful Kayaking Trip

We just did the one-hour trip, and it was very calm and peaceful, easy to maneuver the kayak. If I were gonna do the 3-hour trip, I’d tube instead since there are rapids. Very nice owners. Very pleasant experience. Bathroom situation is pretty nasty though....More

So much more peaceful than Helen

Tired of tubing in Helen with 300 of your closest friends? Try tubing the Cartecay River in Ellijay. So much closer to Atlanta and peaceful. No traffic, no loud music, just your group on the river. We saw no one - just us. We did...More

Follow up to Cathy E,

Cathy E. Sounds like you need to take your kayaks and stay in a swimming pool. I think it would be much safe for you there. Those rapids are nothing to an experienced rafter/kayaker. We have been over the rapids you speak of hundreds of...More
