Old Highway 41

The Old Hwy 41 boat ramp provides access to the Etowah River and Allatoona Lake in Acworth, Georgia. This single-lane boat launch is located within the Riverside Park day-use area, offering a convenient entry point for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats.

The Etowah River in this section is part of Allatoona Lake, a popular reservoir managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Paddlers can expect a relatively wide, slow-moving waterway with minimal current, making it suitable for both flatwater and leisure trips. The lake environment also offers sheltered coves and bays to explore. Nearby campgrounds, including Traina Enterprises - Wilderness Camp Marina and the reservable PAYNE CAMPGROUND-ALLATOONA LAKE, provide additional amenities for those seeking a multi-day adventure.

While the boat ramp is open for public use, be aware that there is a 10-minute time limit on the loading dock, and swimming, fishing, and sunbathing are prohibited in the immediate vicinity. For those looking to extend their visit, the Riverside Park day-use area also provides access to the Vinyard Mountain Hiking Trail and the Etowah Disc Golf Course, offering additional recreational opportunities.
