Safety Notice:

Allatoona Dam located upriver from all of our launch locations can impact our operations. When the dam generates hydroelectric power by releasing water from Lake Allatoona it creates a rapid rise in water level and flow. This can create dangerous conditions. In the best interest of our customers' safety we may change hours of operation, launch locations, or reservations. We will always put your safety first while doing our best to accommodate.  We recommend calling the Army Corps of Engineers generation schedule hotline for more information before participating in any recreational water activities on the Etowah River:  706-334-7213

Our Story

The seed for our business idea was planted one day when our oldest daughter was looking for water sport equipment rentals in our area. What she found was out of our price range for a family of our size. At the time, we had a few kayaks and decided to rent out to family and friends at an affordable rate. As our loved ones shared their experience with others, our customer base grew and we discovered our niche. The flexibility of being a mobile service without a physical location along with renting our equipment by the day is how we keep our prices low. Our operation is small but our heart is big. Each one of our family members, including the dog, works to ensure everyone who supports Castaway Kayaks has an enjoyable experience.
