About This Access Site
Campellton Road provides access to the Chattahoochee River, a major waterway that drains a 16,250 square mile basin across the Southeast. This section of river near Atlanta experiences substantial flow averaging over 20,000 cubic feet per second with moderate current velocity around 7.4 feet per second. The river at this location is a major stream system with significant water volume, making it suitable for powered and non-powered craft, though boaters should be prepared for moving water conditions typical of this part of the Chattahoochee.
The Chattahoochee River in the Atlanta area supports multiple recreational uses including fishing, paddling, and boating. Current conditions can vary seasonably and with dam releases upstream, so paddlers should check water levels and flow rates before launching. The river corridor through this region has been developed for recreation, and this access point on Campellton Road offers a convenient put-in for exploring this section of the Chattahoochee.
Boaters using this access should be aware that the Chattahoochee is a flowing river system with regular current and potential hazards including submerged obstacles and changing water conditions. Proper preparation, life jackets, and knowledge of current conditions are recommended for all users.
