CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER NRA
INCREASES ACCESS TO PARK
By Collin Kelley
Following federal, state, and
local guidance, the Chattahoochee
River National Recreation Area
(NRA) has eased COVID-19
restrictions and increased
recreational access.
The National Park Service
(NPS) has allowed commercial
services on the river to resume,
including Nantahala Outdoor
Center, Deep South Fly Anglers,
Shoot the Hooch, River Through
Atlanta, Kayak Classes of Georgia,
Tie One On, $10 Tubing, and High
Country Outfitters.
The park, which has units
located along the river, charges a
$5 entrance fee. Look for signage
at each parking area on how to
electronically pay the fee.
“We welcome visitors back to
the park for increased recreation
opportunities in Chattahoochee
River NRA,” said Acting
Superintendent Ann Honious.
“We ask visitors to remember
to recreate responsibly, by
recreating with the people in your
household. Give others plenty of
room whether you are on a trail, at
a boat launch, or in a parking lot.
Follow the CDC social distancing
guidelines for staying six feet
away from others. Be prepared
to cover your nose and mouth if
you’re near others.”
Honious said that the NRA
is working closely with the NPS
Office of Public Health, using CDC
guidance, to ensure public and
workspaces are safe and clean for
visitors, employees, partners, and
volunteers.
When recreating, the public
should follow local area health
orders, practice Leave No Trace
principles, avoid crowding and
avoid high-risk outdoor activities.
Details and updates on park
operations will continue to be
posted on our website nps.gov/
chat and social media channels.
Updates about NPS operations
will be posted on www.nps.gov/
coronavirus.
A new NPS report shows
that 3.4 million visitors to
Chattahoochee River NRA in 2019
spent $132 million in communities
near the park. That spending
supported 2,160 jobs in the local
area and had a cumulative benefit
to the local economy of $213
million.
