PARK AND LOCAL AREA INFORMATION:
Etowah River Park has nice manicured grass flying surfaces, permanent clean brick restrooms, walking trails, paved parking, and river scenery. We are very fortunate the City of Canton has allowed one of its parks to host a model aviation event for the first time. We hope to make it an annual event. Brown Industrial Pkwy. ends at entry to park – veer left and follow road to large grass area surrounded by sidewalk.
Canton is located near the foot of the North Georgia mountains. The area has an abundance of great trails, rivers, apple orchards and vineyards, and this time of year is perfect for visiting the apple orchards and their stores. In addition, there are outlets south of Canton. Canton is on the I-575 CORRIDOR about 17 miles Nth of Marietta, GA. I-575 begins at Exit 268 off of I-75. I-575 splits off to the right near Marietta, GA. Mapquest has an excellent map under ETOWAH RIVER PARK showing all of the Canton area.
