Bringing your own canoe

A canoe is a great boat for this lake: room for two, a cooler and a dog. These launches work well:

• Olde Rope Mill Park in Woodstock, the start of the short paddle to Toonigh Falls.
• Red Top Mountain State Park: 2 boat ramps and 2 docks.
• Acworth's Dallas Landing and Proctor Landing: $15/day in season, card only. Every launch, with fees.

Canoes and kayaks without motors don't need to be registered in Georgia, but every person needs a life jacket on board. Georgia's paddling rules.

Questions

Can you rent a canoe on Lake Allatoona?

Murphs Surf Shop, which rents boats at Little River Marina and Glade Marina, lists kayaks and paddleboards, not canoes. Ask through their contact page if you need a canoe.

Where can I launch my own canoe on Lake Allatoona?

Olde Rope Mill Park in Woodstock (the start of the Toonigh Falls paddle), Red Top Mountain State Park's ramps, and Acworth's Dallas Landing and Proctor Landing all work for a canoe. See the launch guide for fees.
