Toccoa

There is a convenient but oft-overlooked put-in between Swan Bridge and TV Campground. Cross the bridge @ Van Zandt's store (by the old Dial Bridge) when heading from Aska Rd. to Newport Rd (over bridge) to Dial road. Head right (upstream) on Dial with the river on your right. In less than a half mile you will see an empty gravel lot right after a bunch of houses with parking for a few cars and river access. This lot is at the edge of Forest Service land (after you put in, you'll see a 'Leaving National Forest sign' on river right). Expect 30-45 minutes of paddling along cow pastures until things get a little more moving by Toccoa Valley Campground.
