Did you know? The river is home to trout, bass, catfish and 20 other species of fish. 240 bird species live or pass through the area, as well as rabbits, deer, river otters and other animals. Read more

Any kind of trail you like...flat (beside river), hills/woods for hikers and bikers. Then, there's also the river to jump in and cool off in

I just found this place on Google and it is wonderful! Trails that go along the Chattahoochee river and perfect for a cheap date. Dogs are welcome. Watch where you park, you will get a ticket.

Excellent place for a 3 mile run, beautiful escape from the day. Being from so cal, must say the summer humidity was a drag, but it was worth it!

Don't forget to head off the main flat gravel trail. Miles and miles of nice single track up in the hills

So many well marked trails. You could hike for days. Bring your dog but watch out for the bikers

Park across the river on the Fulton side. This will add a half mile each way to your run. Always parking on this side.

Get here early on nice days. Parking can be difficult!

Buy your own tubes-the rentals are overpriced. A lot of people get crazy/silly tubes and it makes it a lot of fun, but if you are going to do it a lot invest in a good one!

For the non-season parking pass holders, there's a pay kiosk at both corners of the parking lot, the other one next to the recycle bins is far less crowded.

If you are planning on tubing, rafting, etc. rent with Shoot the Hooch for a shuttle bus back to your car included.

If parking is full or backed up for the trail, there is another huge lot right across the bridge.
