The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area was affected by the recent U.S. government shutdown, and is almost back at full strength in terms of staffing and services.
The park issued a message Tuesday saying that the Island Ford Visitor Center in Fulton County has reopened, and that some automated machines in the park are being reactivated:
“It’s great to be open and we’re looking forward to greeting our visitors. Most importantly we want to give a big thanks to all our VIPs (Volunteers In Parks) and visitors that helped keep the park clean during the recent shutdown. That last bit of good news is that all of the restrooms have been reopened.”
The one exception: The restroom facility at the Cochran Shoals Unit Interstate North entrance is closed for unrelated reasons. Water line repairs are being made by Cobb County, but nearby portable toilets are available.
