Describe A Perfect Day in Canton?

It begins on the Etowah river with a canoe if I take the family, or a kayak if I go it alone. The natural beauty and utter relaxation that I can find so close to a big city is so refreshing. When I get off the river I’m ready for a picnic at one of the many parks and recreational areas. After a morning and afternoon of seclusion I finish off the evening in downtown Canton where I can shop, eat, listen to live music, catch a show at the local theater, or even watch a movie outdoors.
