Amazing Outdoor Activities on the Hooch

The Chattahoochee National Recreation Area contains 16 park units with a total of 50 miles of hiking trails. It is by far one of Georgia’s most popular recreational areas. Whether you are looking to hike, raft, kayak, canoe, fish or picnic, the Chattahoochee River offers many opportunities. When temperatures in Atlanta reach the boiling point, like they have the past few weeks, Atlatans flock to the “hooch” to cool off. Rafting is one of the most popular summer sports on the river and residents of Rockledge Marietta apartments are located right on the river.

Chattahoochee Outfitters can set up the perfect rafting adventure for your group. They offer raft, canoe and kayak trip rentals from Johnson Ferry to Paces Mill.  From the Powers Ferry location they can rent tubes, rafts, canoes and kayaks for a trip to Paces Mill. This is a complete outfitter service that includes food and shuttle service For more information on their trips, contact Chattahoochee Outfitters.

The closest put in point for rafts and boats from Rockledge apartments is Powers Island directly behind the community on North Interstate Parkway. It takes approximately two to three hours to float down to the take out point at Paces Mill. Just think, if you lived at Rockledge, you could enjoy the Chattahoochee every weekend!
