Chattahoochee NRA--Powers Island Unit

The trail to the Bamboo 🎍 Forrest was nice but short. Perfect for tubbers needing a brief walk before getting on the river.

The river was great. We rented a float canoe on the water and it took us about 3hours to go all the way through. It rained on our heads and created a bit of a stir. If you are new follow the experienced people to avoid the rock.ls the river is shallow as hell. Have fun!

Very crowded but pretty cool to see the Rock shelter that use to be used by Native Americans

Beautiful hiking trail. Not very challenging, fairly even a few roots to look out for. Great views of the Chattahoochee River and the birds and animals that call it home. I took my 4 year old and she loved it and didn't have too hard of a time walking the trail

$5 parking and only once in 10 years could I not find parking. We come here to do river floats and have a great time!

If you are looking for a quick Chattahoochee hike, you might consider this one. This is a nice bridge to reach the island where you'll find a history marker and a boat put-in. There is also a bench on the island that would make for a peaceful place to hang out with a book. However, this is a main parking area/HQ for a river tubing/rafting company so the general area is sorta trashed. Depending on the day, you might find it somewhat crowded with their customers and all that goes with that. As for trails, they are pretty narrow so beware of poison ivy mid-summer...or just wear pants. There are also some ruins to explore around the trail mid-point.

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.

Great place to launch your kayak. Quick easy 3-4 mins walk from parking, across the bridge to the “island” and launch point. $5 parking.
