Jones Bridge is part of the Chattahoochee River National recreational area, which is one of my favorite places around Atlanta. This park is a 150-acre plot with two big bins in the Chattahoochee River, 19 miles from downtown Atlanta. It’s one of the most breathtaking places you’ll ever experience in all of Georgia.
We recently took our 16-foot Riverhawk to explore the Chattahoochee River National recreational area and show you what you can expect when you visit or move here.
#1 Amazing hiking experience
There are very awesome hiking trails that go right along the rolling hillside and along the riverbanks. Jones Bridge collapsed in 2018, so the trail they have is a moderate hike. It's about five miles long, and it has very gorgeous natural wildflowers when you hit it during the spring and summer months. It will make for some beautiful scenery while you're on your hike.
#2 Perfect for a family day
At Jones Bridge, you can find the Chattahoochee environmental educational center. They have programs that are led by Rangers for educational purposes. They do summer camps and field trips, and they have the trailhead unit location.
They also have two different boat ramps, one for motorized boats and another for non-motorized boats like paddleboards, kayaks, and canoes. Jones Bridge is a dog-friendly Park. They’ve got lots of places for picnics, so you can hang out with the family.
#3 It’s a fly-fishing haven
You can actually access the river for fly fishing. And if you're a fly fisherman, the closest fly shop is Alpharetta outfitters, which is located about 7 miles from Jones Bridge.
#4 The surrounding areas
Jones bridge is in a very unique position, just being due west of the Chattahoochee. It is on the county line of Gwinnett and Fulton. After a great time in the park, you can go out and grab a bite and maybe do some retail therapy.
You can go to Peachtree Corners, which is the newest city in Gwinnett County. One of my favorite places to visit is The Forum at Peachtree Parkway. They've got a great retail area with grocery, clothing, and home goods stores. And their dining side has a very diverse group of options ranging from Japanese hibachi to Southwest and American flavors.
You really have a diverse group of things you can get into at The Forum.
#5 Communities around the park
There are significant differences between the median price points in communities surrounding Jones Bridge. While some places can cost as low as $130,000, others are in the millions.

Neighborhoods like Country Club of the South in Johns Creek range from $600,000 to $3.5 million. That is a massive golf community and an awesome place to join if you're in the Atlanta area.
