Powers Island is a busy canoe and raft launch in the Cochran Shoals Unit offering parking for autos and boat trailers, accessible restrooms, and scenic views. Located at 5450 Interstate North Parkway in Sandy Springs, it provides access to a 2.

8-mile paddle downstream to Paces Mill or upstream connections to Johnson Ferry (4. 2 miles).

During summer, this is one of the busiest put-ins on the river; check water release schedules from Morgan Falls Dam and current flow rates before launching, as conditions can change rapidly.
