  • Location Description
    Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area contains a rich assemblage of natural resources, and the park’s green space provides a variety of outdoor recreation opportunities as well as cultural and educational activities. The park is used as a valuable outdoor recreation resource by the over six million people located within the Atlanta metropolitan area as well as visitors from around the world. The Chattahoochee River begins in northern Georgia, passes through Lake Lanier and the suburbs north of Atlanta, and continues to the Georgia–Florida border as a tributary to the Apalachicola River, totaling 540 river miles. On August 15, 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed legislation that set aside the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area as a unit in the national park system. Located in the urban and suburban regions between Lake Lanier and Atlanta, Georgia, the park contains 48 river miles and 5,226 land acres.
