The trails drift between flowering trees that hold plaques indicating their type. It's an adventurous park where kids can come play at the playground. The open fields are great for picnics, soccer or a fun game of freezbie. Find your adventure at the park and enjoy many of the little surprises it has hidden amongst the trails and trees. This park is also the location for fairs, live music on the outdoor stage, and vendor events. This park has plenty of fun.

What a beautiful park with so much to see and do. I'm pretty much a regular here so it's a long…read moreover due review. Etowah River park is huge! With many different activities to do. You can start with the 1/2 mile oval and completely level walking, jogging or running path. It has multiple covered rest benches and a big open middle for activities like kite flying or frisbee. Then cross the bridge to a few miles of trails surrounded by trees flowers and local wildlife. There is also a canoe launch for access to the Etowah River. The park also has an amphitheater that hosts local bands and other activities. Two brand new playgrounds for the little ones, very clean restrooms and some nice pavilions with picnic tables make this a very nice place for family outings. A 58 acre park that connects to other parks and trails makes this a 5 star place for almost any activity. Well done Canton. Another feather in you cap.

This place is really neat! The falls are gorgeous, but it is a trek to get there. It's nearly two…read moremiles to get there, and the same back. It's not all flat either, there are some parts that are going up and down in the trees, a few trees you have to climb under or over on the trail. Part of it is covered, but part of us is very open and near a construction area. However, the falls are beautiful. And since it is such a trek, it's not super crowded. If you don't mind the hike and want a nice little spot to cool off and jump off a rock, I would highly recommend this place.

Situated on 15 acres of pristine land it features a playground, 2 picnic pavilion and a duck pond. There is also a stage area for public performance. For more information https://cityofballground.com/parks-department/ The duck pond is especially charming being that the ducks are people friendly. Not sure if they allow you to feed them ....The geese here are quite a character. When I was here with my friend she accidentally said out loud that ducks are cuter than geese. Well one of them took to chasing her for a bit for her slip of the tongue....serves her right.... I've also used their restroom facilities a couple of times before when I was in the area. Very clean and very well maintained..... A great addition to this charming little town that I hope will remain small and quaint. 1277th review 3/18/2018 197th for 2018

It was semi difficult hike just because we live in Florida and use to live in Illinois (AKA Flatland), but we did it. The easiest way to this is from the parking lot, walk to the left and walk down the stairs. Keep walking on the boardwalk and watch for holes in the boardwalk. When the boardwalk is done, keep walking and then you will come to trees, the trees have steps made from the trees, & carefully watch your step and go down. I actually scooted my butt down and then climbed the tree steps. It was not bad, just something I'm not accustomed to. You will see the water and rocks moving and it is just so beautiful. People walk through and sit in the water and take pics. Be careful when you walk through it can be slippery. We had water shoes. Water is so refreshing. We actually walked the long way, which is walking to the right of the parking lot to the start of the boardwalk. We didn't want to walk down the stairs bc they looked pretty steep. It really is amazing. I'd say you will be here about an hour or two. Parking is free and there are a bunch of signs you need a fishing license. Which we don't have. We just parked And walked!

The waterfall was a popular place to be, as families swam, picnicked, and soaked their feet in the water. It was beyond crowded, so it might help to get there earlier. If you have anyone elderly or injured, you may want to be mindful of the steep hills leading to and from the waterfall- assistance might be needed. A nice place to have a family outing.
