Etowah Indian Mounds Interpretive and River Walk Trails

06/26/23

This is the third set of Mounds we have seen and they are magnificent! The view from the Great Mound is stunning. They have returned the artifacts so the museum is closed but the grounds are worth the side trip. We saw a groundhog, butterflies and bees, dragonflies and birds along our stroll. Lots of interesting placards along the route. The fields are well maintained so an easy walk.

Paddle the Lower Etowah (Euharlee Road to 411)

The nine mile stretch of river between Euharlee Road and 411 provides a beautiful getaway near Cartersville. As it sits downstream of Allatoona Lake, this is considered the Lower Etowah, and the temperament of the current depends largely on whether or not the Corps is releasing water upstream from the lake upstream or not. When not releasing, the river is a slow, docile waterway, and you should...
