Lower Chattooga River Canoe/Kayak Trail

We have had several people ask about a business to provide transportation for kayakers. People want to leave their car at the take out and have someone take them back to the dam to put in. May be a good business for a local to start up.

We had a group of kayakers who lost an orange dry bag w/ their car keys and personal items inside yesterday. If anyone finds the bag please return it to Lyerly Town Hall or drop it by the Chattooga County Sheriff's Office.

Water levels are at the lowest they've been on the trail in several years, but it is still float-able from Lyerly Dam to Chattoogaville. There are a few places on shoals that are getting down to less than 8" in depth and boats may drag, and the usual tight spots are even tighter but most trail-goers and especially the ones who know the trail already will make it just fine.

We've finally finished all the work at the launches and use of the trail has grown by leaps and bounds in the last two years and will definitely continue to grow. In the very near future we would like to establish a volunteer group of Trail Keepers for the Lower Chattooga River Canoe/Kayak Trail to assist with monthly clean up at the launches, keeping an eye out for any issues at the launches, and monitoring and reporting trail conditions. We would also like to do a litter clean up on the trail a couple of times a year. If you would like to volunteer please message us through this page!
