Forming the border between Alabama and Georgia, the Chattahoochee River is a central waterway in Georgia, and its shores and waters provide much entertainment for visitors. The Chattahoochee National Recreation Area is open year round, from dawn to dusk. The Island Ford Visitor Center is located in the historic Hewlett Lodge.

Maps, the latest information on the park, souvenirs from the Eastern National store, and more are all available at the Visitors' Center. Activities in the recreation area include fishing, boating, kayaking, and hiking. Another of the park's most popular activities is cycling. All park roads are open to cyclists, but trails are limited to specific areas.
