We have already had some wonderful canoe programs happen and it is not even June yet! The best part is most of the trips have been completely booked! We have already seen over 25 adults and well over 30 kids enjoying the river - and now we want to see you out on the River as well!
We know this canoe season will be filled with many exciting opportunities to explore the Chattahoochee and the watershed surrounding us.
We have already seen beavers, great blue herons, deer and a whole list of song birds!
Programs are booking fast - and we mean FAST - so if you want to get out on the river with the Chattahoochee Nature Center, paddle faster - the summer will be over before you know it!

The
Chattahoochee River, providing more than 70% of metro Atlanta’s water supply,
is more than just a valuable resource. The river is home to an array of
wildlife, unique plants and hundreds of places to explore. This summer, the
Chattahoochee Nature Center invites you to join them on the river – to connect
to the waters of the Chattahoochee in a new way.
Come enjoy your river with us on a 3 mile paddle
exploring wetlands, cliffs and meandering through the marshland. Daily stresses
seem to melt away as Great Blue Herons, Geese, Mallards, Kingfishers and
Swallows fly from perch to perch overhead. As you paddle, the sky slowly gives way to an amazing
sunset filled with pinks, oranges, purples and blues. It is breath taking to
see such a beautiful view so close to home and the big city.
Along the way, trained naturalists discuss
various topics focused on the river: history, habitat, concerns, restoration
and awareness. The trips are informative, relaxing and engaging. Get a group of
friends together, bring the family or come solo. This is a unique way to get
outdoors, make some memories and escape the sounds of city life.
Canoe trips

October. Times vary depending on month. All
equipment is provided. Participants must
be able to swim and paddle their own canoe, and be at least 6 years and up. No
