Chattahoochee River Boat Ramp Improvements

In late June of 2006, the Chattahoochee River NRA began a year long river access construction project to improve the boat ramps. 

The nature of this project has a high level of complexity, due to fluctuation with weather and the river flow and velocity. Therefore, the schedule may change during the course of construction. 

The projected schedule below represents the park staff’s best efforts to anticipate the course and sequence of this project. This listing will be continuously updated as necessary and with as much advance notice as possible.
