    Chattahoochee NRA - Powers Island Unit is a hidden gem! The scenic river and fantastic kayak spot make it a perfect destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

    Fun place to catch some brin. Caught two Long Ear Sunfish on an inline spinner and had some fun. The water is freezing and wading isn't really recommended. Saw some absolutely massive carp too.

    It's a small hike (with all your gear, it can be cumbersome) to the river's edge, but it's all good from there. It's easy to get in because of the concrete stadium steps they have going right into the water. Nice slow float, with a few stops along the way (there's a 20-25 ft cliff that you can jump from at about the halfway point), and it lasted about 2 hours. We did paddle through the small rapids that pop up from time to time, so that may have made it go quicker than others experience. It was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon in August.

    A lot less foot traffic than other places. People looking for a quiet and peaceful time will like it here. Not a very difficult trail and good for a quick workout.

    Dropped in here twice in a month to go down the river. Clean, Easy to get in and out. Great fun.

    Never been to this side except to deliver some products but the other side is absolutely heaven for cycling. Plenty of eye candy, besides that, it's mostly covered by the tree canopy so it's comfortable to cycle even on hot days. Heavy foot traffic so go really early if on the weekends

    Beautiful but recently flooded and needs lots of renovations. Nice trails regardless. It was very kind of the nps to call my friend instead of towing when her keys were locked in the car and stuck overnt there.

    It's a cool day. So the hike was great.

Farm
😐 Cute farm with lots of games and entertainment for kids, but at nearly $25 per person over 3 it’s quite pricey! Hot dogs are $6.50 and burgers $8! Corn maze pumpkins and mums in the fall, just be prepared to pay! Can’t feed or pet the farm animals either, torture for children
