Columbus Georgia Online

The first whitewater park in Georgia is under way!

The city of Columbus has plans to remove two dams that are no longer in use on the Chattahoochee. The project is estimated to cost $23 million.  However economic impact studies predict a $42 million return for the two cities (Columbus, GA and Phenix, AL). The project is expected to create up to 700 jobs and attract thousands of visitors from out of town every year. The park will have several park and play features as well as a  2.5 mile stretch that can be paddled. According to the Georgia River Network Water Trails website.
