A little north of Atlanta, Roswell stretches seven miles along the Chattahoochee River. This part of the river brings slow moving waters and miles of tree lined paths welcoming visitors to take stroll or paddle along for a different view. Close by, the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area offers miles of hiking trails and leads to Vickery Creek and its waterfall. This is a perfect spot for photos. Take the pedestrian bridge for an additional scenic view. In addition to the river and hiking trails, bike routes for cycling can be found around town and a mountain biking area with multiple trails is located at Big Creek Park so, grab your bikes and hit the trails.
