Now is a perfect time to invest in property. The Coosawattee River Resort is offering mountain lots with spectacular mountain and river views. The time is now to grab your piece of nature!

Lots range in size from .10 of an acre for deeded campground lots exclusively for campers, RVs and travel trailers as well as .5 acres to 1.5 acres for residential lots in various scenic locations around the resort including a limited number of river front lots and several with mountain views.

The Georgia mountain resort is located in Gilmer County just over 75 miles north of Atlanta in the Blue Ridge Mountains and at the foothills of the legendary Appalachian Mountain Range. The resort is a 5,500 + acre development consisting of more than 7,000 individual, privately owned lots divided by seven miles of the beautiful Coosawattee River. The Coosawattee is formed where the Ellijay and Cartecay river meet and then travels for six or seven miles where it becomes Carter's Lake, a gorgeous recreational lake formed by the Corps of Engineers.

The resort is expansive with approximately 160 miles of roads, six river parks, The Water Tower Conference Center, The Recreation Center and The Villas at Coosawattee. Just outside the Eagle Mountain gates, The General Store features a deli style menu as well as tubing, kayaking, and Pickin' on the Porch during the warm seasons.

A Teen Center is a family favorite with an outdoor swimming pool, snacks & games, picnic tables, and the Indian Fishtrap Suspension Bridge. A dog park is available in the resort as well as Wi-Fi Hot Spots and The Coosawattee Library.

North Georgia Tubing and Kayaking with The Coosawattee River Tubing Company


Tubing down the river is a super summer fun and a wonderful way to create memories for the entire family. Floating down the river is also a simple way to reduce stress and enjoy the peace and serenity of nature. So where can you find the best place to take a tubing excursion? The Coosawattee River Tubing Company is the place! Just an hour north of Atlanta, GA and just an hour south of Chattanooga, TN, an entertaining 2-1/2 hour inner tube float down the Coosawattee River is waiting for you and your entourage.

The Coosawattee River Tubing Company furnishes the tube, life vest, and shuttle service to and from the river for an admission price of $15. In free-floating tubing, the tube riders are un-tethered and conveyed by the current of the river. Tubers paddle with their hands to steer, or groups of tubers can rope their tubes together creating a large floating group. Tubes used for free-floating were true inner tubes, but the customized tubes used at The Coosawattee River Tubing Company offer comfort and ease of use. These tubes are donut-shaped to allow the rider to sit comfortably on their back across the top of the tube while sitting into the center.

The Coosawattee River Tubing Company also offers kayak trips by reservation. Each trip lasts 1-1/2 hours and is $25.00 per trip which includes equipment and shuttle to and from the river.

Changing rooms are available, as well as tubing/meal packages and group rates. Although reservations are not mandatory, trips fill-up quickly so availability inquiry and reservation(s) are advised. Please note that children must be at least 5 years of age. A waiver must be signed and submitted prior to the tubing excursion. To save time, please read the rules and regulations and then print & sign the waiver prior to coming on the tubing trip.

The season opens May 1st and runs through October. The tubing and kayaking schedule is as follows:

·         May 1st - Memorial Day:  Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
·         Memorial Day - Labor Day: seven days a week
·         Labor Day - October 1st: Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

When you get done with your tubing or kayaking adventure, be sure to visit The General Store at Eagle Mountain for  breakfast (starting at 7am) and the summer menu lunch. Also The General Store features "Pickin' on the Porch" which is scheduled for the 2nd and 4th Saturday night of each month (weather permitting), with a variety of local entertainment and music from gospel to blue grass to Old Time Rock 'n' Roll. The General Store is open  for your dining and munching convenience. Bring your own lawn chair, pull up your seat next to the bon-fire, and roast some marshmallows while enjoying the entertainment and mountain ambiance!
