Chattahoochee River Run/Bike Path

Cochran Shoals, one of the most popular and beautiful parks in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, is located just north of Atlanta’s I-285 perimeter highway. This riverside park offers over 4 miles of fantastic, wide graveled trails popular with runners, walkers and mountain bikers along a wide, shoal and whitewater-filled stretch of the Chattahoochee river. (The Cochran Shoals trail is just one of many hiking, running and walking trails through diverse terrain along the Chattahoochee River – view our complete collection of Chattahoochee trails.) Cochran Shoals’ popularity with runners and walkers draws from its wildlife-rich marshland habitats, excellent Chattahoochee River views and its nearly level elevation on its popular 5k running trail.
