The Chattahoochee River splits the Palisades unit into an east and west side. The west side in the southernmost part of the park near the junction of I-75 and 1-285 northwest of Atlanta (close to Vinings) features a boat ramp and canoe launch, the last put-in or take-out within the Recreation Area. Access the Bob Callan Trail and the Rottenwood Creek Trails, both paved, through the west side of this park.
