Lake Allatoona Adventures for Everyone

We are a full-time, year-round guide service exploring North Georgia waters, with Lake Allatoona as our home base and favorite place to fish. From two-hour nature and sunset cruises to half-day fishing trips and multi-day instructional experiences, Heron Outdoor Adventures offers something for every age and experience level. All listed pricing includes up to 2 people. Additional anglers are $75 each. Typically 4 anglers per boat max recommended. Multi boat trips available. Just check with us :)

 

Guided Fishing Trips

Our standard fishing trips range from four to six hours. We also offer customized, multi-day instructional trips for anglers who want to improve their skills and learn the lake in greater depth.

Depending on the season and conditions, one adventure may produce several different species. We commonly target:

• Striped bass

• Hybrid striped bass

• Spotted bass

• Largemouth bass

• Crappie

• Catfish

We fish throughout the year because every season brings a different experience to Lake Allatoona.

​

What We Provide / What To Bring

Heron Outdoor Adventures supplies the fishing equipment and gear needed for your day on the water. Anglers age 16 and older must have a valid Georgia fishing license.

We recommend bringing:

• Weather-appropriate clothing

• Sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses

• Comfortable footwear

• Any preferred drinks or snacks

Complimentary bottled water is provided. If you plan to keep an eligible portion of your catch, please bring a cooler and ice.

All striped bass caught on Lake Allatoona or the upper Etowah River are photographed and released.

This conservation practice helps protect the fishery for future generations.

 

Convenient Lake Allatoona Pickup Locations

Trips depart from several public boat ramps and day-use areas, including Galts Ferry, Victoria Harbor, Little River, Red Top, and other locations around the lake.

Your exact meeting location will be selected based on current fishing conditions and confirmed before your trip.

​

Family-Friendly Fishing

We proudly welcome families, beginners, and anglers of all ages. Some of our favorite adventures are those that introduce young anglers to fishing, help them catch their first fish, or put them on a new personal best.

Bring the family, make some memories, and let’s go fishing!

​

Our Boat and Group Options

Our primary boat is a 24-foot Parks Manufacturing SilverWave tritoon equipped with modern fishing technology, quality gear, comfortable seating, and plenty of room to enjoy the day. Base pricing is for up to 2 anglers. Additional anglers $75 ea.

We generally limit trips to four anglers per boat, although exceptions may occasionally be possible. For larger groups, we work with trusted partner captains and additional boats. Together, we can accommodate parties of 24 or more.

​

Nature and Sunset Cruises

Lake Allatoona is also a beautiful place to relax and explore. Located just outside Atlanta, the lake is home to abundant wildlife, including osprey, blue herons, bald eagles, and many other native species.

Our outdoor adventures are not limited to fishing. Nature, bird-watching, and sunset cruises offer a peaceful way to experience the lake. Guests are welcome to bring binoculars and camera equipment.
