Event details

Join Trust for Public Land and Chattahoochee Hills on September 8th 2-3pm at RiverLands Park for the Chattahoochee Camp+Paddle Trail Groundbreaking in Chattahoochee Hills

The Chattahoochee Camp+Paddle Trail once completed will connect 5 sites and 4 jurisdictions along 48 miles of river for 4 Days & 3 Nights of Connected Recreation. In partnership with the City of Atlanta, Fulton County, the City of Chattahoochee Hills, and Carroll County, and with a $2.2 million Georgia Outdoor Stewardship Program Grant from Georgia Department of Natural Resources, we identified a launch site, three priority campsites, and a takeout site.

Chattahoochee Hills will be home to two of the five Chattahoochee Camp+Paddle Trail sites set to open Summer 2024. One of those sites is an existing park, Campbellton Park, will feature new amenities such as a beautifully designed restroom and shower pavilion, trails, primitive campsites, and a new pollinator garden. The other site, RiverLands Park, where the groundbreaking ceremony will take place, will open to the public next year as a new park in Chattahoochee Hills and will feature similar amenities as Campbellton, along with a new kayak launch.

We cant wait to see these features come to life!

Chattahoochee RiverLands Pedestrian Trail Bridge

The City of Smyrna and Trust for Public Land are exploring a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge across the Chattahoochee River. This bridge could improve connections between existing and planned trail systems in Smyrna and Atlanta while creating new opportunities for recreation, mobility, and access to the river. Share your input on project priorities, potential uses, and how this connection could serve the community.
