Great place to run, walk and bike. Unfortunately, they blocked off all access to the river. It used to be a great place to bring your dogs and let them get in the water. It also used to have a clearing for people to picnic and a restroom area. Those are the reasons for only 4 stars.

Wonderful area for hiking. You can choose the wide gravel path with many people walking and biking, or you can choose the narrow shaded paths through the forest. I quite prefer the forest paths, as The surface is softer, you can kick …

Beautiful place with great trails and the gorgeous, lazy Chattahoochee River. So many people though. Take the back trails, it’s less crowded.

Wonderful trail, easy for beginners and old people as well. Nice little niches along the trail to sit / stand and enjoy the roaring Chattahooche river

Questions & Answers

Can you fish in this area

WISDOMGaming | Oct 14, 2021

Yes people fish from here on a regular basis. The water level can vary a couple feet or more depending on rains and dam releases upstream. When levels are lower some wade out to the exposed rocks and fish from them. Waters are fairly cool because of coming from the bottom of the dams so prepare for that as well.

Are the restrooms open now?

Probably when the employees are getting paid.

Is it open? Or because of the government shutdown , are the gates closed?

Not sure. Aside from the government shutdown, it may be flooded in places, what with all this rain.
