Restrooms and some campsites are accessible to people with disabilities; path to canoe launch and fishing deck is also accessible.
A day use area is available for those looking to picnic, swim, fish or canoe along the Toccoa River. Deep Hole includes 4 picnic sites, canoe launch, and fishing deck.
The canoe launch at this site makes river access very easy. Floating down the Toccoa River Canoe Trail is very popular among visitors. The Toccoa River Canoe trail starts at the Deep Hole Recreation Area and flows 13.8 miles to the take-out at Sandy Bottoms Recreation Area.
You'll enjoy views of forested public lands, pastoral private lands, laurel and rhododendron thickets, and their associated wildlife. Coupled with great fishing and some rapids make this a perfect canoe trip. This canoe trail is ideal for beginners and those who enjoy a less than vigorous float in a north Georgia Mountain River. This is the only designated canoe trail in the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests. Those persons floating the Toccoa River are allowed passage through private lands along the river. However, according to state law, fishing, camping and entering onto private land is illegal without landowner permission, as is fishing from the river in a boat, tube, or any other floating device where both sides of the river are privately owned.
