A day around Dahlonega: learn about the life of goldminers, pan for gold, visit Dahlonega and kayaking (no experience necessary!!) on the Chestatee river. 

 

 

Spend a great day of excitement and adventure in the North Georgia Mountains!

Have you ever wondered what the life of a goldminer must have been during the Gold Rush or what a goldmine looks like? Well here is a chance to learn all about it! Make sure you wear comfortable shoes, because we are going in a goldmine!! And of course after we have learned how the goldminers struck it rich... we will try our luck!! The goldpanning instructors will teach us how to do it and if you find gold you get to keep it! 

Next will be a short visit to the quaint historic town of Dahlonega, where we will have a little bit of time for a stroll around the square with it's stores and restaurants. Make sure that you will have your lunch here, so you will be ready for our afternoon adventure!!

The shallow waters and very gentle rolling rapids, combined with the beautiful scenery make the Chestatee river a perfect first time kayaking experience for the whole family! Paddle solo or in a tandem boat. Listen to the sounds of nature, maybe we will see turtles sunning on a log, a fish jump out of the water, butterflies land on your boat! And you and the kids will have time to play in the  water... very refreshing on a hot summer day!!

Your guide for the day is a Certified Tour Manager and Tour Guide, an experienced kayaker, and an ex-camp director, who loves to share her knowledge about the nature you will see and the history of the area  with kids and adults! And she has an enthusiasm that is contagious!! 

 

Cost: $115 per person, max 11 people (admissions and boat/equipment rental included; lunch. personal purchases and gratuity are not included)
