About Big Dogs on the River
This place offers a unique way to see Athens when the weather is warm. For about $20 they take you (sometimes in a limo!) on a 15-minute drive to the area where you go in with the kayaks. They drop you off & you paddle/float for a couple of hours until you return to the starting point. It is a lot of fun and the people who own & work for Big Dogs on the River are very friendly & helpful. Unfortunately, the Middle Oconee River is so polluted that it makes for an uncomfortable trip at times (beer cans & condoms on the shores). If you want to paddle & swim in cleaner water, make the 30 minute drive to the Broad River in Danielsville or the 90-minute drive to the Chestate River in Dahlonega. Both areas have kayak rentals available & the water is much safer to swim in.Reviews
