Hi, I will be driving from Jacksonville FL and want some rafting fun in the Chatacoochee river. Does this recreation area offer rafting facilities? If no, is this recreation near a a rafting facility? I have only 2 days for this trip, so how can i combine rafting, hiking and some Atlanta sightseeing.?

kmm66101 above has a good take on this. There are some paved walkways and there are some rougher dirt paths to hike. I have seen a lot of people hiking with toddlers but its a lot of work without the stroller so I suppose you'll be limited to the main visitor center area, mostly.

fs.usda.gov/activity/conf/recreation/natureviewing This web site has additional information about wildlife in the natural area. Hiking by the water and wetlands, one can see mammals, many species of bird (including water fowl), and amphibians. I like the trails off Johnson Ferry Road. Sope Creek offers many kinds of trails, some fairly rugged.
I bought an annual Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area pass, after buying the daily pass now and then. Do I leave it on my dashboard when I am hiking? The daily pass was paper and you hung it from your mirror. This is more like a credit card and fits in your wallet. The parks I visit do not have any rangers on duty. Thanks.
A:
I got a "hanger" from the CRNRA hqs at Island Ford. I would just lay it on the dash with perinent info up.
