Complete information about visiting the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is now available on National Park Planner.
The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area covers a 48-mile stretch of the river running from directly below the Buford Dam near Cumming, Georgia, down to Vinings, Georgia, just inside the I-285 perimeter in northwest Atlanta. The park is comprised of 15 individual park units, each offering different amenities and recreational activities such as hiking, fishing, boating, and mountain biking.
Unlike many parks where there are set things to see and do that take up a certain amount of time, visiting the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area is a leisurely experience with no set agenda that visitors must experience. People come to the park in their spare time for exercise and outdoor fun and adventure. National Park Planner gives visitors insight into trail lengths and difficulties, information for planning a river float trip suited to your time constraints and physical abilities, and the locations of historic ruins, boat ramps, and picnic areas.
Be sure to read Steve Markos’ short memoir of the good ol’ days on the Chattahoochee, Shootin’ the Hooch.
