Chattahoochee River Raft Rentals – Metro
Paddle the ‘Hooch with family and friends with raft rentals from NOC. Great for groups and children 5 and up to float or paddle while enjoying scenic views of the Chattahoochee River.
Overview
Share your Chattahoochee River trip with family or friends from the comfort of a raft. NOC’s raft rentals accommodate groups of all sizes and make the perfect Atlanta day trip. This section of river is great for first-time river runners, families with children or any group exploring Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.
Rafting enables participants to take an active role, paddling your way down the river as a team and is perfect for groups with young children. NOC raft rentals help you stay high above the water, so they are highly recommended when temperatures are too cool for tubing.
Raft rental reservations must be made at the NOC’s Metro Outpost and trip options include the float from Johnson Ferry to Powers Island and the easy Class I-II whitewater section from Powers Island to Paces Mill.
