There are tons and tons of wonderful outdoor activites in fabulous Blue Ridge, GA (an easy, short drive from Atlanta) and the Toccoa River Canoe Trail is a great place to start. 

 

The Toccoa River Canoe Trail is terrific for beginners who are looking for a few rapids and some absolutely beautiful scenery. The trail is also popular with float fishermen looking for cold-water mountain trout. Some consider the Toccoa RIver to have the best trout fishing in Georgia. The canoe launch (or bring a tube) is located at the Blue Ridge Ranger District's Deep Hole Recreation Area, a U.S. Forest Service campground off of highway GA 60 south of Blue Ridge and north of Suches, GA. Launch and parking costs $5 per vehicle. The recreation area also offers camping and a scenic, relaxing atmosphere. The canoe trail begins on the north bank of the river, flowing west and north toward Blue Ridge. The entire float from Deep Hole to Sandy Bottoms is 13.8 miles. 

Sections of the Toccoa River Canoe Trail include: 
Deep Hole to Rock Creek Road Bridge: 1.5 miles with good fishing. 
Rock Creek Road Bridge to Margret: 1.0 miles 
Margret to Butt Bridge: 5.8 miles with rapids, campsites and a suspension bridge 
Butt Bridge to Dial Bridge: 1.5 miles 
Dial Bridge to Sandy Bottoms: 4 miles
