Dub Denman map & float planner

It follows the Tallapoosa River in Haralson County, Georgia. Current county and tourism sources name Poplar Springs, GA Highway 100 / Water Works, and Broad Street as the public launch sequence before the river continues toward Alabama.

Published figures describe different corridors and mapped segments. County and tourism sources commonly say approximately 27 miles, while other planning documents use shorter figures. This guide does not turn those conflicting numbers into one settled mileage.

The current Greater Haralson Chamber page reports an average 2–3 hours from Poplar Springs to Highway 100 and another 2–3 hours from Highway 100 to Broad Street. Those are source estimates, not promises; flow, wind, stops, skill, obstructions, and takeout conditions can change the time substantially.

Yes. This guide includes a zoomable street-and-terrain map, mapped Tallapoosa River centerline, approximate two-mile river waypoints, coordinates, and Google Maps links. Public access, a reported but unverified Highway 27 crossing, an unresolved Broad Street address, and a deliberately generalized private Hipcamp area use different labels.

This guide cannot confirm that. The marker identifies the road-and-river crossing where paddler use has been reported, but an authorized public launch, lawful parking, safe pull-off, bank entry, and landowner permission have not been verified. Do not launch or park based on the reference pin alone.

The calculator follows the river downstream from Highway 27 to the developed Hideaway, Poplar Springs, Highway 100, and Broad Street. It adds the adjacent planning ranges between the selected put-in and take-out: Daniel’s 3½-hour Highway 27-to-Hideaway trip report shared September 20, 2026, the developed Hideaway owner report, and the Chamber's two public 2–3 hour section averages. Highway 27 remains unverified access and the Hideaway remains private. The separate Wilderness Retreat report is not combined because its exact position in this chain is not established. The gauge does not change the clock. The Highway 27 report already includes that group’s stops and delays. Allow additional time for your conditions, loading, shuttle logistics and unexpected delay.

No website can answer that for every day or group. Suitability depends on current flow and weather, access and obstruction conditions, paddler skill, swimming ability, supervision, equipment, and a dependable shuttle and shore plan. Pause when any essential remains uncertain.

Ask Daniel at Moss & Sons about your preferred date, route, group size, and what is missing. We may be able to help with a pickup, an extra kayak, or another part of the family or group float plan. This is an inquiry, not an automatic booking. Availability, equipment, meeting places, timing, and any cost must be agreed before relying on help.

Do not assume riverbank camping or public-land camping is allowed. Our developed Tallapoosa Hideaway near Buchanan offers separately booked private camping on available dates, plus a separate River Day listing. The Wilderness Retreat is closed to camping and leisure visits through January 10, 2027. Private guest access is not a public trail launch or takeout.
