When looking for outdoor adventure, Columbus, Georgia has it all. Conveniently located just about 90-minutes southwest of Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, it is home to more of the "best," "only" and "newest" outdoor adventures for outdoor lovers.
The RiverWalk's miles of hard surface trails along the Chattahoochee are ideal for walking, cycling and jogging. The locale also provides visitors with a splash pad, public art, green spaces, an accessible rock-outcrop island for a close-up view of those rafting and kayaking, fishing, public entertainment spaces, historical architecture, birding and easy access to Uptown Columbus for great dining, shopping and entertainment.
It serves as the starting point of the Blue Heron Zip Line course. As the "only" dual-zip lines that connect two states, thrill-seekers cross the Chattahoochee River not once but twice as they reach speeds of up to 40 m.p.h.
