As the Chattahoochee River runs through Roswell it provides a broad scope of activities. You can raft down the river, rent a canoe and paddle around, walk or bike along the miles of walking and bike paths, grab your fishing pole and try out some fly fishing, take the kids to the numerous playgrounds. Bike or walk up to the Chattahoochee Nature Center (see its separate listing in Trip Advisor). It is a safe and relaxing place to spend the day. One the first Saturday each month from may through October there are free evening concerts at the River park - bring your own meal or buy food from the food trucks that are there.

"Way down yonder on the Chattahoochee..." It is a quick drive from Atlanta and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Bring you sun screen and an innertube and enjoy to relaxing trip. I've done it a half-dozen times and still love it.

Run or walk along the river and watch the wildlife. Find a flat rock when the river is done (usually on weekends). Float on a raft in the summer but be careful the water is always cold because it comes from the bottom release of Buford dam.

We took our kids fishing on the hooch. Didn't catch any fish as it started to rain after we were in the water for about 20 min. But we had tons of fun.

The Chattahoochee River is one of those pleasant surprises that you find frequently in the State of Georgia. Running from Helen in the north Georgia Blue Ridge Mountains, where it starts as a stream, and culminating at the southwestern border of the state, where it becomes the Apalachicola River in Florida and about 90 miles south, eventually Apalachicola Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. What is most surprising, however, is the access to this wild river right in the Atlanta Metro Area. Tucked under major interstate and local highway bridges throughout Atlanta and neighboring affluent suburb Cobb County, there are many access points for canoeing, hiking, dog and baby walking, many of the administered by the National Parks System as branches of the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area. In fact, you cannot get into the northwestern suburbs from Atlanta without crossing over the river at some point, and it is not unusual to see canoe races from your car window as you drive home. In few places in the U.S. can you be in the middle of a major metroplex and yet park your car and in a minute or so, feel like you are in the wilderness, with the sound of the interstate fading in the distance after just a few steps, and the rapids of the river magically appearing in front of you. Most of the river is quite tame, and the rapids are not intense by any means, but after the rainstorms that do occur in north Georgia, it can get tricky and the flow of the river needs to be navigated with respect. It is not unusual, in the more rural areas - and even in some of the metro areas - to spot herons and perhaps even an eagle or two, in addition to bobcat (rare), some alligators down below central Georgia and sometimes up north, wild hogs, armadillo, and even an occasional black bear. The adventurous and not so adventurous can all enjoy the river equally, whether riding an inner tube in Helen, a canoe or raft in Cobb County, or a fishing boat down south. The national park has an excellent network of trails throughout the NRA, which is mostly centered in the town of Sandy Springs, Fulton County and Eastern Cobb County, all "bedroom" communities of Atlanta.

My family has canoed and kayaked the river from the Gwinnett/Fulton county line to just past Ga .400 for years. The prettiest time of the year seems to be when the hydrangeas are blooming as there are many planted along the banks. We usually see large turtles, blue herons, duck, and Canadian geese. There are many mansions on the river that are amazing. The only "whitewater" is near Island Ford and not difficult. It is also where the best trout fishing is. A nice halfway break is a sandbar at Horseshoe Bend. Take water and sunscreen.

Rented canoes from a group called Shoot the Hooch.com. very professional. Made sure everyone would be safe and understood directions. Super friendly and very helpful staff. We went as a group of 9 including 2 children. Canoe trip took about 4 hours. Ate lunch on the bank. Scenery is awesome. Best way to see the chattahoochee.

The Chattahoochee River became the division of territory between these two tribes many, many years ago. It is a gorgeous area to jog, walk, picnic, take the children to play, ride a bike, go for the water sports, or, just sit and drink in the beauty at your place of choice along the banks of this beautiful river.

A great escape from Atlanta's Skyscrapers and traffic, there are plenty of hiking trails, bike paths, and you can always tube down the river on hot days!
