Stay Cool in Canton Summer Isn’t Over Yet

Mayor Bill Grant would like to remind you that when things get too hot, there’s no better way to cool off than by enjoying recreational activities on the Etowah River and at Lake Canton around the reservoir.

All Cherokee County cities have wonderful amenities and activities to experience, but Canton is blessed to have these two water features that provide ample opportunities to raft, kayak, canoe, fish, and hike. Many locals have accessed the Etowah River for years, and they know how special it is to experience the view from the water.

The City of Canton and the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority partnered to meet the long-term water supply needs of Canton and the region by constructing the Hickory Log Creek Dam and Reservoir, now known as Lake Canton. This pristine lake is open year-round to the public and can be accessed from the parking area and boat launch at Fate Conn Road and Bluffs Parkway.

Canton residents can explore the lake with canoes, kayaks, and electric-powered boats. In addition, the City has designed walking trails and other recreational features around the entire perimeter of the reservoir, and the engineering plans are underway. By purchasing the remaining 300+ acres at The Bluffs, the City’s goal is to protect this beautiful area and sustain Canton’s natural resources for years to come.
