The Coosawattee River Tubing Company: just a short hour drive north of Atlanta or an hour south of Chattanooga , you can enjoy a fun-filled 2 ½ hour inner tube float down the Coosawattee River . No better way to soak in the spring sun and sights than floating gently down the water in your own tube! If kayaking is more your speed, kayaks are available for rent. Both tubers and kayakers can enjoy the shuttle for return trips. Season opens on May 1st, and reservations are strongly recommended.

The Villas at Coosawattee River Resort: the resort offers cabins, villas, A-frames, and condos throughout the Appalachian Mountains and in some of the most breath-taking spots around the resort.
