Cartersville Opens Etowah River Boat Launch

The Etowah River Trail at Leake Mounds canoe and kayak launch opened late last week.

The city of Cartersville has opened the first official Etowah River Trail boat launch.

The Etowah River Water Trail at Leake Mounds canoe and kayak launch is located at 1540 West Avenue/Highway 113 on the city’s side of the E.R. Bates Bridge.

Construction of the new launch was made possible through a grant from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, with the Coosa River Basin Initiative also contributing $3,000 in matching funds to help the city secure the grant.
