Plentiful parking with relatively easy trails. A large and easily accessed section of trail runs along the Chattahoochee and is generally cooler due to the shade and proximity to the water. You can also buy national park service passes at the visitors center in case you want to return again and again.

Such a great green space in the middle of metro Atlanta. Great place to hike and walk with amazing river views. It never disappoints.

Yes, as long as you have a valid Georgia fishing license including the trout fishing add-on, since trout do live in the Chattahoochee.
