Additional Information
The water temperature of the Chattahoochee River is about 55 degrees Fahrenheit year round -- good for trout but so cold it could cause hypothermia. State law requires that each person aboard a vessel have an approved personal floatation device. The Park closes at dark. For more information call (404)399-8070.
