It's amazing how Helen makes the Chattahoochee River an attraction. You can tube and even play in the water. My family mostly loves to tube, we even have sometime to play and swim in the river. Overall, this is a fun attraction.

Beautiful River runs right behind the Helendorf River Inn allowing you to sit on your balcony and see/hear the river going by.

My grandparents live an hour away from Helen. Every summer my sister & I come to visit and we tube down the river. It's gorgeous and a lot of fun! Just be careful to go when there is a good amount of water flowing.

The river in the summer (unless it rains) is very shallow. I don't know why people try to float down it. The river is also stocked with trout, so find a deep hole. I would check the water purity of the river before I swam or floated in it.

Tubing was awesome when Issac dumped a ton of rain on us in the river. We all had a great time. EXTREME TUBING! LOL

I loved listening to the sounds of the river and watching the tubers float by,it was so peaceful.I loved sitting at the restaurants outside close to the water.I took many pictures and will share them with family.I'm looking forward to my next trip.I wish we could have planned our trip around Octoberfest,it sounds like fun!

A lot of rocks and low river level made this a trip I won't ever forget. Cool refreshing water was perfect on a hot August day. Make sure you bring a nice big stick to get you off those rocks!

The river was excellent while we were there. We had heard that there were issues with the lack of rain but it was nice. Definitely would go again.

We have rafted and tubed the Chattahoochee River for two decades. In low water, it can be challenging to tube with lots of rocks and sharp edges. Be aware of the ocassional water snakes, which can be agressive and poisonous. Mostly, the sit on the banks while tubers drift by. The safety of the water has come into question after... More
