While many parts of the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests remain closed to visitors during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, a number have now reopened, according to U.S. Forest Service officials.

A total of 19 different locations were opened for public use on Thursday, May 7. Those areas include:

"Recreating on the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests is an activity individuals and families look forward to experiencing every summer," said Edward Hunter, Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forests’ acting forest supervisor. “We are working with local communities on phased plans to reopen additional sites and facilities as soon as this can be accomplished safely.”

Hunter said the opening of the sites is consistent with CDC guidelines and state and local government orders. 

Visitors are asked to avoid congregating at trailheads and parking areas and to refrain from gathering in groups larger than 10 in number.
