The Etowah River flows for 163 miles from Lumpkin to Floyd Counties – passing through Bartow for approximately 36 miles. The river runs through Lake Allatoona and enters the county at the inlet, on which Bartow’s George Washington Carver Park is located. Together, the City of Cartersville and Bartow County Governments have successfully installed four Canoe/Kayak input/output sites making 17 miles of river more easily accessible and navigable.
