Last updated

Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA) preserves a 48-mile stretch of the Chattahoochee River between Atlanta and Lake Sidney Lanier in Georgia. Established on August 15, 1978, by President Jimmy Carter, it is a unit of the National Park Service.

In 2012, it became the first river designated as a National Water Trail under the National Water Trails System. The park headquarters and visitor center are at the Island Ford Unit in Sandy Springs. The river is a stocked trout stream with 23 species of game fish, and year-round fishing requires a Georgia fishing license and a trout stamp.
