Hewlett Field Kayak Access
About
Hewlett Field Kayak Access is a hand launch for canoes and kayaks in Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, Georgia, about 3 miles from Dunwoody. The National Park Service manages the land. It's a carry-in spot, built for paddlers who bring their own boats to the water's edge rather than trailers. Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons for paddling here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show October highs around 73°F and April highs about the same. July highs average near 89°F, and January lows dip to about 33°F. Several destinations sit within a short drive or walk. Island Ford, a climbing area, is about 0.3 miles away, and Sundrop Boulder is roughly 0.6 miles off. For fishing, the Chattahoochee River's Island Ford unit lies about 1.4 miles away, and the Roswell Riverside Path is close by for a walk at about 1.8 miles.
