Dub Denman Canoe Trail · Public launches along the Tallapoosa River, Tallapoosa and Buchanan, GA

Daily 7am–8pm

The approximately 27-mile water trail has multiple launch and takeout choices. No staffed service or guaranteed rental operation is promised; plan a segment and shuttle before launching.

• Approximately 27 miles of water trail
• Multiple public launch points
• River shoals and wooded banks

Before you go

• Bring your own craft or confirm an outfitter independently; rentals and staffed service are not guaranteed.
• Wear a properly fitted PFD and check weather and live river-gauge conditions.
• Arrange a vehicle shuttle and takeout before launching.
• The official brochure warns of a small dam downstream of the Highway 100 launch and directs paddlers to a left-side portage.
• The launch road is Poplar Springs Road in the official map; one tourism page misspells it as Popular.
