If you're in town and want to get some fresh air-- stop by the Chattahoochee Riverwalk!

A lot about livin' and a little 'bout love." Alan Jackson I remember when Alan released this song in '93 and (having never visited the South to that point) I wondered if he invented some magical river called the "Chattahoochee" because it made for such a catchy guide vocal. Now that we've seen some of what Alan was singing about while on the "Chattahoochee River Walk" in Columbus, Georgia, it makes me wonder if the lyrics to his song could actually be semi-autobiographical. ‍ This trail runs parallel to the river and offers a consistent connection to it during your adventure. Walkers, runners, cyclists, and leashed dogs are all welcome here and from a safety standpoint I'd assign it a perfect score during daylight hours. Those with mobility challenges should not be dissuaded from enjoying it because it is well maintained, mostly flat, and easily accommodates wheelchairs, baby strollers, etc. While I typically elect to run most of the trails that we review, I quite enjoyed causally meandering along this one. And that's...Henry's Take. #chattahoochee #alanjackson #columbustrails

We didn't make it there on our first day, but we opted to stop by on the Sunday morning before we drove home. A 'botanical garden' can span a wide spectrum of things, some more interesting than others. Unless you are very plant-centric, there is probably an upper threshold of interest that any botanical garden can generate. I'm not saying that critically; think of it in the context of 'would you rather visit a museum or a garden?'. Depending on your answer, you may be more or less interested in your average botanical garden... This one is located 5 - 6 miles north of downtown. There appeared to be ample parking, plus an overflow lot that was not in use when we visited. They have some central gardens (sort of zen-lite) and a walking trail through the woods. This intersects with a camellia trail, which was nice. It also intersects with a 'wetlands' trail, which (as the name suggests) appeared mostly soggy. There is a sort of farmhouse near the parking lot which belonged to the original landowners who donated it to the community. If you are just looking for a nice 30-minute diversion of walking among plants, this is fine. It was a nice walk. It is also free. I'm not sure I'd need to return here, but I'm glad we stopped in.
