What began as a bold vision has turned Columbus into the heart of freestyle kayaking and one of the nation’s premier river destinations. 🌊💙

A $26 million restoration transformed the Chattahoochee into the world’s longest urban whitewater course, sparking:

• $42M in annual economic impact

• 700+ jobs

• Environmental renewal

• 50,000+ annual whitewater visitors

And now? Columbus is earning national recognition — from Paddling Magazine features to ICF freestyle kayaking designations, putting our city on the global outdoor map.

This river changed everything. And we’re just getting started.
