Over the weekend most parking areas of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area reopened, and on Monday, the final two lots, at Gold Branch and Columns Drive in East Cobb, also reopened to public access.
For the mean time, entry fees are being waived, and there are some facilities that remain closed, including restrooms, picnic areas and shelters and the Hewlett Lodge Visitor Center.
More from the National Park Service:
“While these areas are accessible for visitors to enjoy, a return to full operations will continue to be phased and services may be limited. When recreating, the public should follow local area health orders, practice Leave No Trace Seven Principles, avoid crowding and avoid high-risk outdoor activities.
“The CDC has offered guidance to help people recreating in parks and open spaces prevent the spread of infectious diseases. We will continue to monitor all park functions to ensure that visitors adhere to CDC guidance for mitigating risks associated with the transmission of COVID-19 and take any additional steps necessary to protect public health.”
Further updates will be posted on the park’s website.
