"Riverside Walking and Biking Trail Cochran Shoals is one of the most popular areas of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, which stretches through metro Atlanta . The flat trails are great for runners and views of the river and woods make exercise even more enjoyable. Birdwatchers, kayakers and bicyclists can all find something appealing Cochran Shoals. There's even a boardwalk over wetlands for more nature spotting. Note: The area is crowded on weekends, and parking is $3."

My daughters and I have been living in Sandy Springs for 2 years now and we just visited this incredible park today. The video doesn't do it justice. I had a wonderful time. So beautiful and peaceful.

I went here for a walk after it rained. It was nice and wooded. Feels like I was in the jungle. I will definitely go back when I have sometime

Beautiful hiking trail. Not very challenging, fairly even a few roots to look out for. Great views of the Chattahoochee River and the birds and animals that call it home. I took my 4 year old and she loved it and didn't have too hard of a time walking the trail

The trail to the Bamboo 🎍 Forrest was nice but short. Perfect for tubbers needing a brief walk before getting on the river.

If you are looking for a quick Chattahoochee hike, you might consider this one. This is a nice bridge to reach the island where you'll find a history marker and a boat put-in. There is also a bench on the island that would make for a peaceful place to hang out with a book. However, this is a main parking area/HQ for a river tubing/rafting company so the general area is sorta trashed. Depending on the day, you might find it somewhat crowded with their customers and all that goes with that. As for trails, they are pretty narrow so beware of poison ivy mid-summer...or just wear pants. There are also some ruins to explore around the trail mid-point.

Where we set out with our raft to shoot the hooch. Lots of parking and raft rental available. Costs 5 bucks to park. Also where you purchase shuttle tickets.
