Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is a popular recreation area alongside the river. The park has several miles of trails open to walkers and mountain bikers.

A segment of the trail that closely follows the Chattahoochee River. The Chattahoochee River is 430 miles long.

The Chattahoochee River begins in northeastern Georgia and winds its way through Atlanta’s western suburbs before merging with the Flint River to form Florida’s Apalachicola River. Its name, meaning “painted rock,” comes from the Cherokee language. The river is central to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, established in 1978. Further south, it flows through Lake Eufaula, part of a protected wildlife refuge known for its birdlife, located on the border of Georgia and Alabama.

The Pumpkinvine Trestle is a 750-feet-long bridge that takes you over Pumpkinvine Creek. The bridge rises up to 126 feet and gives you great views of the creek and woodland below.

This easy, unpaved, tree-lined multiuse trail offers nice views of the Chattahoochee River, and is particularly popular during the weekend. There are some other trails in the Cochran Shoals unit of Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area that you can bike, but they're also unpaved and more like mountain bike singletrack. So, not everyone will be comfortable on them, especially depending on what type of bike you have.

This paved walking/cycling trail winds along near Concord Road, passing through a mix of residential areas and commercial centers. It makes a nice connector between central Smyrna and the Silver Comet Trail.

This quiet, paved rail trail is open to almost all non-motorized uses. Long sections of it wind through forested greenways, making for a really nice ride.
