Explore the Great Outdoors in Roswell, Georgia

Phones Down. Paddles Up.

This is the time to savor each other, and truly allow yourself to detox from the distractions of everything on the internet. What better way to do that than surrounding yourself with the beauty of nature? It’s time to put the phones down and discover a myriad of fun things to do outdoors in Roswell, Georgia.

On the Water

Float in an inner tube, canoe, paddleboard or kayak down the Chattahoochee River. During the warm Georgia summers, it feels great to be in the crisp river water taking in the sights and sounds. You can bring your own equipment, or rent through Nantahala Outdoor Center. Their latest outpost right here in Roswell has the most up-to-date watercraft rentals for your trip down the Hooch!

Chattahoochee Nature Center (CNC) is another great option to step into nature. If you are interested in the water but want more than just riding the current along the Chattahoochee River, you can sign up for one of their guided tours! This will still get you out on the river, but with someone who is going to fill you in on the wildlife that will be surrounding you. As you plan your visit to CNC, be sure to grab some food from any one of our local restaurants and have a picnic lunch on the grounds.

Off the Water

Not big on water sports? Discover nature and the great outdoors in Roswell by hiking some of our trails. A local favorite is to hike the Vickery Creek Trail.
