Final Documentation: National Park Service, Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area and Water Trail Conceptual Plan (2018)

Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area and National Water Trail is located in the heart of Metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia. A year-long contract with the National Park Service (NPS) enabled us to travel to various sites for field work, paddle the river, conduct a 5th year and graduate studio, and a special studies studio. These documents are what was sent to the NPS for review in July 2018.

Prof. Dean Bork talks with a student while preparing to paddle the water trail from Abbotts Bridge in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.
