Halloween on the 'Hooch!
Family & Friends Community Float
Halloween float on the Chattahoochee! Celebrate spooky season the sweetest way possible with a family‑friendly Halloween paddle down the Chattahoochee! We’ll float from Azalea Park to Don White, a calm and scenic stretch perfect for kids, parents, and anyone who loves a little fall magic on the water. Expect colorful leaves, gentle currents, and plenty of room for creativity! This is a calm 2.5 mile float which makes it a perfect float for beginners.
Costumes are encouraged (as long as they’re paddle‑friendly). Whether you come as a pirate crew, woodland fairies, superheroes, or a family of pumpkins, this float is all about having fun and enjoying the river together. We’ll sprinkle in some light Halloween flair along the way to keep the mood festive without being too spooky for little ones. Make sure to bring your trick our treat bag too.
