Our Outposts

Headwaters Outpost

HEADWATERS OUTPOST SITS ON THE EDGE OF THE CHATTAHOOCHEE NATIONAL FOREST NEAR THE START OF THE CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER.

Our Headwaters location is primarily used to purchase tickets for our aerial adventures that we offer. These include ziplines, adventure courses, and a climbing wall. Like our Chattahoochee location, we have restrooms, changing rooms, a gift shop, and concessions, You can purchase tubing tickets for the long ride here also. If you park and tube here, you'll get out of the river at the Chattahoochee Outpost. From there, you take a bus back up to your car at Headwaters.
