Can’t get out of town for the Memorial Day weekend? Just take a short drive over to Sandy Springs to discover their outdoor amenities.
Sandy Springs is a cozy community minutes from downtown Atlanta, encompassing 950 acres of parkland offering outdoor recreation for all ages. Watch a stunning sunset at Morgan Falls Overlook Park, a paddler’s oasis overlooking Atlanta’s scenic views. High Country Outfitter Paddle Shack, an onsite waterside rental shop, provides high-end fiber glass, roto-mold or carbon fiber Stand Up Paddleboards (SUP), perfect for beginners or experts to test out the waters! Take a stroll and enjoy nature’s scenery, raft through the rocky reefs or fish the misty streams during sunrise at Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.
Good for both exercise and exploring, Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC), a riverside adventure center, offers a variety of watercraft rentals to create the ultimate river experience. Located at two Chattahoochee River outposts, NOC provides one-person or two-person, sit-on-top recreational kayaks enabling paddlers to maneuver 3.5 miles upstream, covering long distances at a leisurely speed. In addition, NOC is the only Atlanta river outfitter with inflatable kayaks.
Whatever you choose to do this holiday weekend, please be safe and enjoy your long weekend!
