Great place to put a boat or kayak in and go up or down the river. Its a very quiet stretch of the river. Get there early to get parking.

Good for a mini trip with green surroundings. Make sure the weather is nice whenever you go . It had rained a day before I went, which made the water too muddy and the levels were high. The people working for the tubing service there are really helpful. They stopped one of the families from drifting forward once the trail ended.

I’ve been coming to fish here since I was a kid, 30+ years. This is a nice little area to get access to the Chattahoochee River for some good trout fishing. Make sure to check the dam water release schedule as water levels can rise rapidly and it can be very dangerous.

Nice spot with boat launch, mostly people finishing their tube run. The trail is not well maintained, at least whatever I was on petered out into straight woods, but you may be able to find this nice little beach area within. Im not trying to blow up the spot so Im not posting photos, but its nice if youre willing to bushwhack. Or paddle up there.

We had a great time. Our 2 hours went by quick, we cant wait to go again. The water was cold but once we got on the river we didnt notice.

We had a blast tubing on the Chattahoochee River & will definitely do it again soon

This place super busy, especially since tube rental companies use it as their drop off/pick up point. There are much less crowded points on the river that also have plenty of parking.

Very pretty and quiet place. Didnt like seeing that someone killed and threw away 6 pheasants in the trash there. Didnt harvest them. Just trashed them.Other than that.. a very nice park.

Every year, we take a float down to Abbots Birdge! Its a great spot to do some floating and some drinking. Highly recommend.

Google says Abbott’s Bridge is Open today and it is actually closed due to covid-19. We were excited to go fish the river and put the boats in but the ramp is closed. Please change the Open to Close so that others like myself do not make the drive. McGunnis Ferry Ramp is also closed.

You can use an outfitter to shuttle you up and down the river for tubing. If you have a kayak or small boat this is a great boat ramp to use for taking out or putting in. Parking is good but crowded in the summer. They have a pavilion for lunch breaks but no bathrooms.

Its a pretty good place to go tubing down the river. Yesterday was my first time and it was very relaxing. Just make sure that if you go you bring cash since you do have to pay for parking.

Ive been here twice in the past three weeks. Everyone should experience tubing at least once. If possible some of the branches needs to be moved to the the side.

Dont try to swim in the hooch mid-june it will be cold and you will be sad. On the other hand, the mud? Squishy, soft, a delight for the toes, family fun for all ages

Nice place. Make sure you go here. Quiet and Private. Clean picnic pavilion and good clean rest rooms. Brilliant walking trail.

Review №33

Sure this place was flooded when we visited however recent rainfalls have caused lake Lanier to be extremely high and need to be drained AKA The Purge people make a bunch of free money off the electricity theyre generating when do I get my cut of the free electricity at any rate it is very interesting to walk around we do not catch any fish

Review №34

Some wonderfully huge and ancient trees right at the start of the trail. Much of the trail has an overgrown, wilderness feel even though it is VERY close to developed land on all sides. The trail is suffering from erosion badly and is relatively unsafe for little ones without supervision. Very short trail. For what it is, its a great little area.

This is one of the prettiest water falls in GA. Bonus is that it fits all ages and all levels of physical ability. It has several hikes of varied lengths and steepness. You can also drive all the way to the top of the fall to enjoy the view without hiking at all!

Nice pavilion, picnic tables. Big open field, great for gatherings. Has launch/recovery for Hooch river boating/tubing. Clean, maintained. 4 stars only because you need to bring your own fun, theres nothing really to do if you dont bring it.

Beautiful park- soooooo many birds!!! Walking along the trail with various bird songs and chirping is perfectly relaxing- add in the rushing water from the chattahoochee river and this is meditation heaven. Zero car or city noise here!

Review №44

Theres not a lot here. One picnic pavilion, a boat ramp and no restrooms. This area is primarily a boat launch and pick up point for some of the tubing companies. There are better spots up and down the river for hiking, picnics, fishing, etc

Review №45

The fishing and access are great. However the float tubers take over the ramp and make it hard to launch a kayak or boat.

This trail is only for winter when poison ivy has died down or if you are wearing long pants. It’s very narrow, very overgrown and much of the vegetation is poison ivy. If you are wearing shorts, it’s nearly impossible even with extreme care and slowness to avoid it. I feel the parks service has somewhat dropped the ball here. I’ve hiked most Chattahoochee river trails and none is as narrow as this one. The solution is not to take out the poison ivy but to widen the path. I had to turn back after a while.

Review №51

Easily accessible, nice area. I came for tubing, and my only request would be better signage. If you are driving in to Rogers Landing for the first time, it can be confusing. Theres a little dog park on the right, and the launch point is behind a parking lot further in on the left. I didnt see any signs, but I was able to follow others there. There is a restroom facility in the parking lot. The lot is a small - medium sized gravel drive.

Its used as a put in and take out for boats and tubers mainly. Theres a bathroom but not much else. The water is deep and its rocky on either side so you cant really hang out in the water.
