We headed out from just below the Lake Blue Ridge Dam on a misty and cool morning in late July. We picked the perfect day to go! Starting from Blue Ridge Mountain Kayaking (BRMK), we rented kayaks and shuttles for our 6 mile trip and got oriented about the river conditions that day. The staff at BRMK is friendly and knowledgeable and their equipment and facilities are top notch. The best part is they are right in Blue Ridge about 3 minutes from Ingles Grocery and that makes it easy to focus on having fun and not worrying about travel time to the put in. We opted for the 6 mile trip which took about 2.5 hours and with their shuttle we were back at our car in under 3 hours from put in time. BRMK also offers 12 mile trips and guided trips. We had the best time ever kayaking on the Toccoa! – Dave
