Garrard Landing Boat Launch
About
Garrard Landing Boat Launch is a boat launch in Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area in Georgia, managed by the National Park Service. It sits about 2 miles from Peachtree Corners, giving paddlers and boaters a put-in on the Chattahoochee River within the recreation area. Fall is a comfortable time to get on the water here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show October highs around 73°F with lows near 51°F, and September through November see fewer wet days than the rest of the year. The launch also makes a good base for other outings close by. Holcomb Bridge - Crooked Creek Trail is just half a mile away, and the Jones Bridge - Trail System is about a mile off. Anglers can head to the Chattahoochee River fishing area about 2 miles away, while Jones Bridge Park, roughly 2.4 miles out, offers climbing.
