A favorite even on a rainy day. One of the most peaceful trails along the Chattahoochee River.

Nice walking trails.This mixed-used family and pet friendly park is great for walking, hiking and biking. We walked the loop trail that follows along a buried pipeline, then loops over to follow the river. The river area offered several scenic views from wooden viewing platforms. We visited on a weekday morning when the park wasnt very busy. However, weve seen the parking lot on weekends, and that was enough to keep us away.Nice trail links to an extended hiking trail system in other parts of the National Recreation Area.

The trail is big and spacious with the view of the chatachoochee river on the side and hence social distancing is easier. There are a lot of people visiting this trail since it is pretty popular

Great biking trail - highly recommend. Great pace and just enough roughness to make it interesting without having to dismount or worry about going to the hospital.

Great kayaking. Most of the Chattahoochee River is can enough to paddle against the current. There are a few class 1 rapids as well. The dam is 3 miles upstream with a small class 1 rapids just before it. 3 miles down stream is another class 1 rapids. This is a great spot to put in and take your pick, up or down stream. Also plenty of wildlife to add to your kayaking pleasure.

Great place to get out and relax. Frequently see deer as well as other wildlife.

Nice for walks and bike riding. Be aware,It can get pretty crowded closer to evening.

Great walking trails. Nice river views

Beautiful place to be has wide trail you can walk run or ride bike I seen ppl fish also

I would strongly recommend this place if you want safe family fun, the scenery is so majestic. There are so many trails for beginners to novice. Im happy i found this gem.

Great place to walk, run or bike. Trails are wide, scenic & mostly run along the Chattahoochee river. There are additional trails on boardwalks that run through the wetlands. Mature trees create enough shade to cool the trail.

Beautiful trails! Great canopy cover. Ideal for this time of year with the heat. Once you walk in, temperature feels like it drops 10 degrees.

I love to ride here. It’s the closet trail I know of to downtown Atlanta. There’s designated mtb trails as well as hiking trails. I can get a good 8 mile ride in a single loop or do a shorter 5 mile loop for a quick ride.

Love riding my bike on these trails! It usually packed and traffic is nighmare during busy hours but once you get past it. Fun little place

Peaceful,safe,beautiful trails by the river. Worth the drive to enjoy a piece of nature in the city.

There are very nice trails to bike and walk on, I just wish the directions were easier to comprehend.

Great place for a jog or walk. Gravel paths so wear good traction shoes. Clean bathrooms also which was good to have.

Great place to walk or run. Flat mostly, shaded, and a pleasant gem in a busy metro area!

Family friendly, wide path for social distancing

This is an excellent place to walk or ride bikes. The paths are very spacious and there is good wildlife. You can see and hear the river and there are several overlooks. Unfortunately the restrooms have been closed during the Trump Shutdown. It is a nice place to come with friends or family and particularly nice for walking a dog. There are lots of friendly dog-walkers.

Lots of people visit this trail now and that’s a good thing. Even weekdays lead to full parking lots. This trail is best for mountain biking with sturdy tires because of loose gravel. Not particularly wooded but it does connect to a better trail west and that has deers roaming around. There is a small swampy bog in the middle of the trail that does get flooded after a rainy bout.

This is my favorite park in the metro area. It is fairly heavily used on the weekends so get the early or be prepared to wait for a parking space. Its worth the wait.

Nice trails for hiking, biking, running and trail running; easily you could exercise here (getting this trails and Sopes Creek together) up to 20 miles with combined altimetry. For me, the best trails in the area!

Beautiful hike that is flat and easy. Perfect for runners, children, and anyone else who needs a flat hike.

Beautiful scenery everywhere! Take a lunch and chill on a rock and make a day of it!

Phenomenal bike riding. Great path with a lot of tree coverage. Decent amount of shade.

Excellent trail for both walking and biking! Great to take strollers as well.... Wide and well maintained.

Great nature trail area that connects with miles of other trails and is pretty well maintained. Very relaxing, somewhat dog friendly (at least by Georgian standards) and usually isnt very crowded. Only downside is paid parking, but there are places nearby you can park if you wish to dodge the fee. They require cash, so Im not able to park in their lot as I dont use cash and they dont accept modern payment methods.

Great place to walk, run by the beautiful and serene banks of river. There are some trails which had fun steep inclines and decent. Woods with happy birds chirping and sight of deers.

Beautiful and serene. Many trails to follow. Bridge and boardwalk with plenty of wildlife. It gets busy on the weekends, but Almost abandoned on weekdays. Police is always nearby, so it feels safe.

Great river area, shady in the morning and a great time to walk, run or bike!

Beautiful area! Lots of different trail types. Drive all the way down Columbia for the parking lot.

Serene space for long walks, cycling, of u love hiking trails then ull definitely love this place, plus you can also go fishing, kayaking etc...

First time I did this trail, and loved it!

Great day with a friend riding bicycles down by the Chattahoochee River

Great trails. High traffic area

Always a delightful place to visit. The trees provide good coverage on hot and wet days. This is a good place for both walking and mountain biking. Walkers should pay attention on the main trail as bikes are regulated to go one direction each day.

I love this park, can go all the way tonSole creek or just go along the river. We come here often

Whats there to say about this place that hasnt already been said or isnt known? Its a parking lot with access to the river basically.

Ive lived in this area for a year. And I love the isolation in the woods.

Columns drive is a flat, out-and-back route that is great for cycling. The minimal traffic and conscious drivers make for a safe ride. There are also trails leading into the hills and moving along the riverside that are great for runs or walks!

Great spot to walk around or can even shoot the hooch here

Nice trail and scenery, parking has room for lots of improvement.

Great easy trail for good walk/runs with friends. Pretty scenery while exercising. Parking can be limiting, but usually can find a spot.

Another great place to start your daily routine. This is a good place to jog, bike or walk to enjoy a bit of nature in Marietta. The terrain is suitable for all ages and even good for the physically challenged.

Nice trail and a beautiful atmosphere :)

Go for a hike or trail run here. You will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but you are still close to home.

Love to visit here again and again..

Great place to bring a dog and walk a 5k +

I love fall and the sound of the crunchiness dry leaves when I ride my bike over them. I love to observe the expression and deminor of the different doggies walking with their owners, it warms my heart.

Great place for a good walk or bike. Trail was flat and wide ...more like a road. Most of the trail ran by Chattahoochee river.

Peaceful, scenic river walk. Wide open spaces - great for anyone.

A great park and a great place to kayak.

Excellent place to get away from the hustle and bustle. Trails are maintained really well.

This is my favorite place to go mountain bike. Lots of trails and hills to keep them quads working!

Great for hiking and biking. There are some nice shady areas which makes it a great place to run even when its incredibly hot.

What an awesome experience on Christmas Eve! Beautiful scenery, including a red-shouldered hawk.

Serene walk, hike, jog, bike, whatever along the river. Perfect on a crisp cool day.

Good walking trails, some are shared with mountain bikes.

This is one of the nicest parks near 285 and Sandy Springs. It is an easy walk 3 miles around pretty flat. The walk along the river is very peaceful. Its a beautiful River the Chattahoochee in my opinion.There are lots of trails around the hills for bikes and hikes that are probably moderate to strenuous.I saw a four or six point deer the other day great camouflage. Lots of mushrooms in the sounds of birds. Its very family friendly as well.

Great place to hike and ride a mountain bikes

Throw your dogs poop bags in the trash!

Nice trail and great views

Great place to bring the kids hiking and just get away from the noise of life

Cochran Shoals may be the busiest of all the parks in the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area. It may not be the prettiest of them all but its centrally located and unlike the other parks is almost completely flat for its entire course. So its a good choice if youre for a good, easy walk.Pro-tip: if you regularly visit the parks, the annual pass is well worth the money.

Great nature trail. It could use more parking.

Nice trail but bathrooms closed and super crowded

Great place to hike/walk/run, on-leash dog friendly

The park is well kept and you dont get bored because the trails change every few years.

I am in love with most of these Natl parks around the Chattahoochee. They are kept clean and in good repair, for the most part. Never a bad time!

This is a really great place for a nature hike. My wife and I go here pretty often for a nice lap around the trails . Its a great place to bring a picnic and sit by the river and just enjoy nature and the sounds of the water. its a pretty popular place so youll definitely run into some neat people. And if have a dog and are looking for a great place to take them out for a walk I would definitely suggest these trails. Parking can be a problem sometimes when its very busy, butits well worth the trip. Once youve gone youll want to come back to this place over and over.

An excellent place to run in the brutal heat in Atlanta. Long paths with crush and run, so they are way easier on the joints. Lots of shade and views of the Chattahoochee river. Also some back woods trails to get your trail run fix!

Beautiful! It can get crowded on certain days but its a really wide trail. Lots of hiking trails and biking trails. A good way to spend part of your day. $5 for parking, you can pay with cash or card.

Nice place to walk bike and run with extensive trails

Absolutely gorgeous place to get away. Nice little gem of Atlanta.

Great place to go walk, beautiful area. Parking at times can be a bit challenging but well worth it.

Great trails for practicing endurance. Moderately hard uphill and a refreshing downhill on most of these trails

Great 3.5 mile trail. Wide paths beautiful views..

We had a blast! It was well managed and reasonably priced, were definitely going back soon!

Great area for a long walk along the river. There is also a beaver pond with boardwalk. We hiked it back and forth and it took us around 1,5 hour. Very crowded on weekends, but the main path is really wide, so its fine. We saw herons, ducks, small birds and even a bat!

We did our weekend run there... Graat run and soft trail... 5 miles and left refreshed. Clean and well kept

So many trails, great hike for sure

Awesome place to hike!

Has been a great place for riding, walking, and running for many years.

Excellent wide nature-y trail for running or walking. It could use a few more trashcans in the middle of the trail but has nice bathrooms at both entrances. Perfect for doing a 5k loop with options for a mile or too more.

Great place to walk or run on your lunch break. Chances of finding broken bottles, needles, or gnomes are practically zero. We did see what looked like a bear running around, turned out it was a really hairy shirtless guy.

Very quiet in the morning hours, cup of coffee and your guaranteed to relax and de-stress

Tranquil setting, wide walking paths. Very clean area... And very quiet.

Whats good place to walk your dog run mountain bike hike whatever you want to do

Great park to take the dog or family for a walk. Its a loop trail that connects to hike small mountain trails the take you into the forest. Highly recommend for flexible diffivulty levels and time available. Get out there and just do it!

Top notch trails, heavily used, crowded parking

I love this place. So peaceful and a lot of people on this trail so I feel very safe.

Nice place for a 5k or 5mile run. Along the river. If the sun is out and iy is a weekend it will be busy. Go in the morning instead.

Flat cinder surface for running fast. Trails up into the woods for mountain bike or trail running. Parking can be tricky on spring and fall days but its worth the couple minutes of waiting.

Amazing spot. Clean, great place for a run near the river. And I didnt know there is a boulder where you can repel off of!

People dont look out of others. Some people have headphone in and cant hear you say excuse me. On the trails in the woods people run and walk both ways. There needs to be some sort of sign that make Walkers and runners go the opposite way as bikers so that they can see the bikers coming even if they have headphones on. Not to mention people still do not get out of your way, even when you try and get out of the way they take up the whole Trail. Dogs are off their leash getting in the way of you. They need to enforce the leash law at this place

Live by there, but the confluence is out of control, Atlanta...seriously I feel like I am visiting a sewer sometimes.

Great waters for swimming

Great place to run, hike, and enjoy the creation!

Parking lots are open and people are back in action.
