Field Trips

The Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area strives to help educate people of all ages to the park and its resources. A ranger-led field study is a great way for your students to learn about the Chattahoochee River and other associated topics. All field studies listed below are curriculum-based and free of charge to educational group. We are able to accommodate two classes per day for a field study.

For the fearless educator visit our Curriculum Materials page for lesson plans about the Chattahoochee River that you present yourself.
