Today the river valley attracts us for so many reasons. Take a solitary walk to enjoy nature’s display, raft leisurely through the rocky shoals with friends, fish the misty waters as the sun comes up, or have a picnic on a Sunday afternoon. Get Outdoors and experience your Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area as you have never done before.
Family Time
Great Blue Herons are plentyful along the river. Look towards the tree tops along the river to spot their nest. If you're lucky the whole will be home.
Look Closely
School children from the city enjoy visiting the park on a ranger-led hike.
Marietta Paper Mill
All that is left of the Marietta Paper Mill is a few stone walls in the woods. Hike to the ruins and you'll get a closeup of Sope Creek that was harnessed by the mills.
Landing A Rainbow
Fishing the Chattahoochee River can be a great way to spend an afternoon out of the office or as a diversion from rush hour traffic.
Inviting Trail
Trails along the Chattahoochee River are calling you to visit.
