We rarely need extra motivation to hike in the outdoor wonderland that is North Georgia. But if YOU want an extra hiking and a little swag, the Hike CRNRA Challenge might be just what the doctor ordered.
Operating 15 separate units along 48 miles of the Chattahoochee River in and near Cobb County , the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area includes 66 miles of trails within the park. Trails deliver on the promise of natural beauty, a wide range of challege levels, historic sites, and abundant recreational opportunities.
And what better way to explore this CRNA Hiking Challenge? Participation is simple and free. And successful completion earns a one-of-a-kind patch plus an annual membership in CRNRA.
CRNRA lists these easy steps and a website link to join the challenge:
- Explore: Discover each and every trail in your local national park for your 2026 hiking challenge. The best part? There’s no time limit!
