Rome's Heritage Riverways pocket parks provide canoe access, picnic areas and walking trails along the shores of three rivers - Oostanaula, Etowah and Coosa. Although no outfitters service these rivers, Calhoun's Conasauga, Oostanaula and Coosawattee Rivers are superb spots for river adventure and outdoor fun. Tubing - Three companies in Blue Ridge offer tubing rentals and transportation services on the Toccoa River. Most suggested trips are 4-hour leisurely floats through gentle rapids and mountain wilderness. Ellijay's Coosawattee River is a good site for tubing.
Local businesses offer rentals and transportation services.
Contact the Welcome Centers in these areas for more details. Skydiving - Adventure Skydiving in Rome offers skydiving training and excursions on weekends. Beginning thrill seekers get step by step instruction starting at only 5 feet.
