The Cartecay River is a 19.1-mile-long (30.7 km)[2] river that runs into Ellijay, Georgia in Gilmer County. It is the site of a class II whitewater run.
The Cartecay and Ellijay rivers meet in Ellijay to form the Coosawattee River. The Cartecay and most of its watershed are located within the southeast corner of Gilmer County, Georgia, but there are small sections of the watershed in Fannin, Pickens, and Dawson counties.
