Locate It: Roswell

Free spirits seeking a getaway outside of city limits will feel welcomed by Roswell, Georgia’s unique southern charm. This laid-back community surrounded by nature and steeped in history has plenty of adventure to experience, no matter your speed. Visit Roswell, Georgia: At Your Natural Pace

Roswell’s nine-mile stretch of the Chattahoochee River offers an abundance of trails, water access, riverwalk, and playgrounds. Coupled with the amazing scenery and wildlife, visitors of all ages will have a blast as they experience the natural side of Roswell.

Rent a watercraft through the Nantahala Outdoor Center or bring your own to float down the Chattahoochee River – there are multiple put-in and take-out locations. Or, take some time to enjoy the green spaces and trails surrounding the river for some outdoor fun year-round.

Roswell is nationally-known for its award-winning parks system. Offering green spaces, river access, a variety of incredible playgrounds, and thought-provoking art sculptures, you’ll find that spending time in our tree-lined community is the breath of fresh air you just might need to get inspired and re-energized.

A bike-friendly community, Roswell knows a thing or two about cycling and mountain biking. Show up empty handle-barred? Roswell has several bike shops that can quickly put you on two wheels.

 

Whether you’re renting or bringing your own bike, two locations within our city stand out for the best places to ride: Big Creek Park and Greenway and the Roswell Riverwalk. Big Creek Park and Greenway offers both paved and dirt trails of varying terrain and elevation. Roswell Riverwalk parallels the Chattahoochee River and is paved, mostly flat, with an optional boardwalk section.

If you love the outdoors but want to take things a little easier, check out the Chattahoochee Nature Center in Roswell. This 127-acre haven of nature was created to bring fun and education to the outdoors. As you take in the grounds covered with beautiful, native-to-Georgia plants, observe the birds of prey habitats including two bald eagles. Add to the adventure by riding the Screaming Eagle Zipline, the only zipline in Metro Atlanta that goes over a body of water! Finish out your time with a trip to the Discovery Center to see more wildlife up-close and personal.

For more family fun in Roswell, play some rounds at the two outdoor mini-golf courses – Area 51 and The Fringe – with skill levels from basic to challenging.

Roswell has a rich history and has enough museums and historic homes to satisfy any history buff’s curiosity about the Cherokee Indians, the Civil War, and U.S. presidents. One way to experience times past in Roswell is on a self-guided walking tour. Roswell’s Historic District offers 640 acres of vintage homes, historic sites, museums, monuments, churches, and cemeteries, with 122 acres of area listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visit Roswell offers a self-guided tour brochure of Roswell’s Historic District.
