Hightower Church Rd Boat Ramp

Remote canoe and kayak launch on the Etowah River in the Chattahoochee National Forest, accessible via a winding trail leading down approximately 10-12 feet to the water's edge near Hightower Church Road bridge.

Parking is available on the left side of the road, and the embankment is fairly easy to navigate with two people to assist with boat launching. This is the uppermost access point on the navigable Etowah River, offering access to a scenic 5.
