Appalachian Outfitters - Tubing - Dahlonega, Georgia

Please read carefully. I had to think hard on the star rating for this experience. First the cons…. It’s a really short ride. It had not rained in many days so few rapids and we got stuck on low water in many spots. Full tube took about 30 to 45 minutes max. Pros: Excellent staff, quick service, good tubes, ability to hike back up as many times as you wanted to keep the experience going. Several good spots to stop including a big rock with a pebble beach the we really enjoyed, low price! Over all, I think we definitely got our moneys worth but if you are looking for a long relaxed 2-3 hour float this isn’t the place for you.

Very nice people. They have a good setup: a good parking area with a decent bit of shade; they will hold your keys so that you don't have to worry about taking them with you on the water; you can float a stretch of the river, walk a trail back up and float it again multiple times.
My only critique is that the shuttle bus that takes you to where you get in the water is an old 15 passenger van with little to no air conditioning. And that wouldn't even be a problem if you could load in the van and leave right away.
All in all a great experience. Definitely recommend this group.

Wonderful and helpful staff. We typically take our own kayaks but they still help us to carry them in and out of the river. Please tip them.
The rental for each kayak is $30.

Had a great visit here and tubing experience.
Would recommend some type of shoe or water shoe as it makes navigating the rocks near the exits easier and the short walk back to ride down the river again.

Staff was kind and helpful and could recommend to anyone looking for a nice tubing experience.

I was so pleased with our tubing experience! Valentina was very nice when checking us in. We used their life jackets which were clean. We also used the tubes with bottom seating to keep our bottoms from getting too wet and cold. They have free tube ties if you want to tie multiple tubes together to stay with your family.

Even though the river height was low we still enjoyed a peaceful ride. There were slower deeper parts and more rapid shallow parts. We got stuck on rocks a couple times, however it wasn’t a big deal.

We saw turtles on the path and a very unique bird I’d never seen before. Because of the slower moving water due to less rain, it took about an hour. I definitely recommend tubing here! Great experience.

We had a great time with our family. Highly recommend! Less crowds and the price is great!!

Staff is very polite. It’s a relatively short trip but also inexpensive compared to others. Family including elders enjoyed very much. If you are looking for a hour long trip go for it. They let you go again unless it’s time to close.

Nice river for tubing with a few places for swifter ripples! Very nice folks! Good to know thatby taking the short easy hike back, you can float again and again for just thr one time payment. I'd stay farawayfrom the nearby German theme town if you avoid crowds like we do .
