West Atlanta Watershed Alliance Harriet Hike
02.22.25| 10:00AM
Chattahoochee Riverkeeper is pleased to host this paddle cleanup in partnership with Chattahoochee Hills, Trust for Public Lands and Heard County Outfitters.
We will be paddling 5 miles from the New Riverlands Park to Moores Bridge south of Atlanta. This section has moderate moving water and perfect for beginners and experienced paddlers.
Specific trip details will be emailed to you a week before to the trip date. During registration, participants can select to borrow a kayak/PFD/Paddle or bring their own.
For planning purposes, we will meet at 8am at New RiverLands Park, unload boats, then drive to the take-out (Moore’s Bridge Park). A shuttle van will return us to the put-in. We should conclude by 2-3pm.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS
All participants must be able to swim efficiently. All participants must be able to get in and out of a kayak easily (i.e. those with knee or back injuries may have difficulty). Paddling uses your core muscles, arms, and shoulders. Anyone with injuries in these areas may have difficulty. Please consult your physician if you are concerned about participating.
AGE REQUIREMENTS
If paddling solo, paddlers must be at least 15 years old. If paddling tandem, youth must be at least 10 years old and accompanied by an adult at least 21 years old.
SAFETY POLICIES
The paddle will be called off if there is a threat of severe thunderstorms/lightning OR if the river is running high due to rain or an upstream release of water from dams.
