EVENT DETAILS: Our first bike-paddle adventure of the year visits the Dub Denman Canoe Trail on this West Georgia river near the town that shares the river’s name. Seven miles of cycling Haralson County backroads followed by ten miles of paddling on the intimate Tallapoosa. The map below shows the bicycle route in orange and the paddle route in blue. We’ll begin by dropping our boats at our launch site at the Haralson County Water Authority and then drive vehicles to Lazy River Rentals (our take out site). From there we will pedal back to our launch site and begin the paddle trip. Bicycles will be shuttled by Georgia River Network to the take out site.

Paddling: The paddle route is Class I water with mostly flatwater and only minor shoals. It is suitable for novice paddlers. The 10-mile route will take between 3 and 6 hours to complete.
Boat Rentals: Need a boat? We’ve got ’em. Tandem sit in kayaks and solo sit on top kayaks are available. You can reserve your boat when you register.
What if I Don’t Want to Bicycle? Bicycling is not mandatory. You are welcome to participate in the paddle, but you will need to arrange your own shuttle with members of your household or other individuals who you associate with regularly. Remember, the reason we do the bicycle shuttles is to reduce the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus by putting people from different households in vehicles together.
