ABOUT THIS PLACE

Chattahoochee River Landing Park sits on the east bank of the Apalachicola River at 269 River Landing Road, just below the Jim Woodruff Dam. It is run by the city of Chattahoochee and it is free. The ramp here is the first one south of the dam, which makes it the starting point for the Apalachicola River Blueway, a 107-mile paddling route down to the bay, and there is a floating dock for paddlers and anglers. Two older things stand on the ground. The Chattahoochee Landing Mound is an earthwork built by indigenous people more than a thousand years ago, with interpretive panels explaining it. The Victory Bridge, put up in 1922, was the first highway bridge to cross the Apalachicola River. The Chattahoochee Nature Trails, opened in 2012 with boardwalk and path, are closed: the boardwalk has rotted through and the trailhead was taped off. The city has also closed the boat ramps at times for unsafe conditions, so anyone hauling a boat should telephone the city first. There are restrooms at the picnic area, a campground nearby with hookup and tent sites, and leashed dogs are welcome
