Be the first to use new Chattahoochee RiverLands' paddle-in campsites on this two-day, two-night journey from Campbellton to Chattahoochee Hills. Part of the Chattahoochee RiverLands project, the paddle-in campsites feature restroom and shower facilities, tent sites and other amenities. This journey will make use of campsites at Campbellton and Chattahoochee Hills, covering 28 miles of the scenic and historic Chattahoochee.
We’ll camp Friday night at Campbellton, paddle 16 miles on Saturday to Chattahoochee Hills, camp again, and then finish out the trip with a 12-mile float to McIntosh Reserve in Carroll County.
When fully completed, the paddle-in campsite amenities will extend nearly 70 miles from Peachtree Creek in Atlanta to Franklin in Heard County, enabling multi-day canoe/kayak camping trips on a section of river that up until recently was written off as a sewage defiled water body that no one wanted to recreate on. Progress in collecting and treating all of the sewage in metro Atlanta has restored the Chattahoochee below Atlanta to the point that it now supports robust recreational use.
Registration fees include guide services and maps, shuttle services, catered breakfasts and dinners and evening educational programs. Participants may choose to carry their camp gear in their boats or have it shuttled campsite to campsite by Georgia Rivers staff. Participants should plan their own lunch food and on-river snacks. Rental boats can be reserved during registration.
SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED–The trip is mostly flatwater with some Class I shoals. Some canoeing or kayaking experience is recommended.
