The River

Running Route

Easy
8.33 mi
141 ft
The best place to run around Atlanta is "The River", aka the Chattahoochee River. Park at the Cochran Shoals parking lot, right off of 285 and head north on wide flat dirt trails. If you just run the main loop it will be 5k. We've included an out and back along Columns Drive, a scenic paved road along the river.
