Confirmed from North End Chattahoochee RiverWalk's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about North End Chattahoochee RiverWalk
“1 and enjoyed every minute of this beautiful path along the river.”
Nice and peaceful. Before it was a riverwalk trail that opened in late 1998 or early 1999, it was a dirt road that we use to drive down to go fishing. Lots of memories with my grandfather and uncle fishing there all the time back in the 80's and 90's. It's still quiet down there.
Always love fishing around here. Beautiful scenery and wild life all around. A little noisy near the overpass but still a very enjoyable path to walk, jog, run or bike. Pets are welcome, but please clean up after them!
Did a 13.1 and enjoyed every minute of this beautiful path along the river. 3 wheeler patrol on duty and passed me twice on my journey so felt very safe as well. It I wasn't here just as a visitor - I'd be going back !
Great spot to start a stroll on the RiverWalk. Some unofficial parking available in the grass where the mark is located but there is also parking available at Lake Oliver Marina about half a mile away.
