Georgia Rivers Annual Camp and Paddle Trip
2026-05-01 - 2026-05-04 | Campbellton Park, GA, United States
Believe it or not, within the confines of Fulton County, you can venture on multi-day canoe/kayak camping adventures on the Chattahoochee River thanks to newly-developed paddle-in campsites that feature covered and electrified pavilions and picnic areas, restrooms, showers and primitive tent sites. Georgia Rivers and the Trust for Public Land will introduce you to these amenities on this 28-mile journey from Campbellton to Carroll County. We’ll camp Friday night at Campbellton, paddle 16 miles on Saturday to the new Chattahoochee Hills RiverLands Park, camp again, and then finish out the trip with a 12-mile float to McIntosh Reserve Park. Long written off as “too polluted to paddle” because of failing sewage systems in metro Atlanta, the river downstream of the big city has undergone a revival over the last 30 years as the area’s sewage systems have largely come into compliance with clean water laws. Today, it is has reclaimed its historic place as a destination for boaters and anglers, and you’ll be surprised at the beauty you’ll encounter in this forgotten stretch of river. The mostly flat water route is interrupted occasionally by shoals and the riverside scenery is mostly rural and wild. This is a recovered hidden gem waiting to be discovered. And, the best part: top-notch camping facilities await intrepid adventurers! Registration fees include guide services and maps, shuttle services, catered breakfasts and dinners, swag and evening educational programs. Participants should plan their own on-river lunches and snacks. Participants may choose to carry their camp gear in their boats or have it shuttled campsite to campsite by Georgia Rivers staff. Rental boats can be reserved during registration
Skill Level Required:
This route features mostly flatwater with some shoals and small rapids. It is suitable for all skill levels from novice to expert.
