The Chattahoochee River originates in the mountains about five miles north of Helen. It flows through Georgia, forms the border with Alabama, and eventually changes its name as it flows into the Gulf of Mexico, near Pensacola. In this mountainous region, the river is best able to support trout. The water is cold, shallow, and is swift flowing at this point.
Just north of town you can fish from the banks of the river, or wade in the river and fish for trout in the deeper pools. As the river winds into town, there is a small park that gives access to the river. Many are the fish that are caught here. The state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries stocks the river on a regular basis at several points. This provides an enjoyable sport for the many anglers that come to this area.
Canoes and Kayaks are furnished for your enjoyment, also with tubes, vest, etc., in some of the narrow areas of the river you can get caught up with one of these tubes if you are not careful. As with any outdoor activity, you need to be aware of nature, itself. This area has a lot of rattlesnakes. If you go to an area that is not heavily traveled, the snakes like to lay in the sun on the warmer days. So, don't look under rocks and do other things that are unwise.
Overall, you will enjoy the day playing in the water... even if you don't catch any fish.
This is where you will find the ROCK - On the Chattahoochee River.
How did the name ROCK originate? Indian folklore has said the bent trees in the surrounding woods marked a Cherokee trail across the river. The tribe often stopped on "The Rock" to fish and cook their catch in the holes in "The Rock". Today, every Kayaker, canoer, or rafter that has ever been down the "Hooch" knows "The Rock" as a place to rest and relax for a spell.
When standing on the deck of the cabin "The Rock" you have the advantage of overlooking right down on "The Rock" but you are not so close that anyone resting on the "The Rock" will disturb you!
This is a real log cabin, with high end bedding and linens for the best night's sleep ever. Gas logs / outdoor fire pit and yes best of all PET FRIENDLY with prior approval. When checking in for this cabin you can purchase fire wood at the store or bring your own.
We do offer grocery shopping for late arrivals, birthday cakes for surprise occasions, wedding plans can be arranged, or just a card to the one you love. Please do not hesitate to ask.
This cabin comfortably sleeps up to 7 in bedrooms and W/futons another 6 if needed.
A separate game-room with a pool table has been added for your enjoyment, but you do enter the game-room from an outside entrance.
Come sit in the hot tub watch wildlife; listen to the river and most of all your outdoor pets will have a blast swimming in the Hooch River.
