Garrard Landing – Island Ford (Chattahoochee River)

Posted by on October 22, 2013

This tour took place on Sunday June 23rd in the early morning around 8AM.

It was just a fun kayak tour with some new faces.  This trip reminded me why I started this small business.  Our kayakers were just a pleasure to be around and they all seemed genuinely happy to be on the river.  They were so fun, we even invited them to our BBQ at our house after the tour.  I guess you make fast friends on the river.

This was my first tour of all women.  So this should be a wake up call (literally) for the guys out there.  Come on guys,  get out of that bar, so you can enjoy kayaking on the water with the good ladies.

We started this trip at Garrard Landing (Holcomb Bridge) in Roswell and traveled for 5 miles downstream to the River Parks Headquarters at Island Ford in Dunwoody.  Weather was perfect. A mostly overcast day with temperatures in the 70’s.  It is actually nice when you kayak not to have the sun beating down on you for hours on end.

This is one of the more scenic trips on the Chattahoochee River.  And with just calm waters, it would be perfect for any first time kayaker or anyone looking to take a scenic trip.  Its also amazing how fast 5 miles goes by on the river. The total time on the water was only around 2  and 1/2 hours.

Thanks again to the crew and cheers from Kayak Guy Atlanta. If you want to join us for a trip like this, call (678-920-3944) or email (Scott@KayakGuyAtlanta.com).
