Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area Details
Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is a meandering green oasis amid the sprawl of urban and suburban Atlanta, Ga. The park protects 48 miles of the Chattahoochee River from the Buford Dam to the city limits and provides opportunities for hiking, boating, fishing, biking, horseback riding, and wildlife viewing.
