A new plan for the Chattahoochee envisions public access, trails and campsites along more than a hundred miles of the river through metro Atlanta.

From the Buford Dam on Lake Lanier to Chattahoochee Bend State Park in Newnan, the Chattahoochee River flows through seven metro counties and past more than a dozen municipalities.

About a million people live within a 10-minute bike ride of the river, according to Walt Ray with the conservation group Trust For Public Land.
