Description

Experience the peace and serenity of the Chattahoochee River with an inflatable kayak. Also called duckies, these river crafts are designed with whitewater in mind, maneuvering similar to a combination of a raft and traditional kayak. Stable yet more forgiving than regular kayaks, they are less prone to capsize which also makes them kid-friendly. Splash, float, and paddle down the river with full control of your trip making it easy to customize your experience: stay dry and explore every nook and cranny of the riverbank, or have an intense workout through splashing waves. It’s your choice. Two types of inflatable kayaks rentals are available: the one-person model or the two-person where you’ll get to share paddling, navigating (and a little team building) with your partner. NOC’s riverside Atlanta outposts are located in the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area at Johnson Ferry and Powers Island. Inflatable kayaks, or duckies, are available at the Powers Island location. **Powers Island river access is temporarily closed until May 2023.
