My friends and I have been going on a lake excursion every year, and Paradise Rental Boats is who…read morewe trust. We have rented both a pontoon boat and one with a slide and all of their boats are kept up to standard and are clean. The person who drives the boat is required to take a test and know boat safety before getting in the water. We rented a pontoon boat from 11 am to 5 pm and was $550 plus gas consumption. They do get really busy and packed, so parking could be an issue. The walk from parking to where you check in is quite hilly, so keep this in mind when bringing children/elders. There's even a place where you can inflate your floaties to enjoy the lake better!

Pro Tips: 1. Reserve a time for a weekday to save some…read moredollars. 2. Upgrade to the destination yacht with the bar instead of the enclosed room. 3. Ask for a USB converter if needed to charge your phone on board the boat. 4. If gas money is a concern, just take your party boat to the nearest cove and anchor in. We paid only $10 for gas for four hours that way. 5. Take the driver's test online before boat day. Doing it on site, last minute, is so stressful. 6. Be aware that they will require a $500 deposit on site that you will be refunded later if all goes well. Bring your ID. 7. BYO trash bag, Lysol or baby wipes, and paper towels. 8. Connect your phone to the speaker system via Bluetooth. Ask for instructions before your leave the dock. 9. The store on site has all your essentials for reasonable prices. 10. Have the best day ever!

I highly recommend this Boat Club! The monthly membership fee is totally worth all year around…read moreaccess to any of their marinas throughout the USA. We have been members for over 2 years, and for us, just not having to deal with the maintenance of a boat is such a relief lol Plus, we get access to different types of boats, which is a blessing because when our kids come and want to do all the water sports young adults like to do we have access to the sporting boats. However, when us old folk want to relax and enjoy the water, we select their pontoons. To add, their staff goes above and beyond to help make every boat trip stress free! Our favorite marina, bar none, is the Suntex Boat Club in Acworth, GA. These staff members have become more like family to us because of the level of service they provide us with every visit. We aren't just another number to them. With every visit, they go out of their way to ensure we don't carry our things to and fro, they ensure we have all we need once we are on the boat, and thoroughly explain things when we have any questions or concerns. Thank you Gina, Adam, Ryan, and Luke at the Acworth, GA Suntex Boat Club Marina for always going above and beyond the call of duty!

We rented the sport triton pontoon boat and it was perfect for our family of four. The seating was super comfy and it was easy to drive. The sound system was awesome and it provided plenty of shade. The only critique I would have would be that the yellow life jackets that were required to be worn when we left the marina were smelly and had mold on them. We also did not have two ropes to tie off when we docked for lunch. Otherwise, a perfect day on the lake and we will definitely use them again.

I travel a lot for work and personal.... if there's one thing I know, it's how things need to be done & organized. My expectations of service and clientele are high and if I don't like something, trust me, I'm the first to say something. In saying this, ODW has exceeded my expectations. Every trip is better than the last. Love that discounted group flights are available, exclusions are included and most of all, that the business is done with integrity. The group is equipped with: Party promoter, travel agent, DJ, photographer/ videographer, merchandise designer & emcee. They come on every trip to ensure everyone is outfitted, informed , everything goes smoothly and everyone has a great time. Those in the group are kumbaya. They've eliminated the fear of traveling alone or not knowing anyone... by the end of the trip, you not only know people like family, you have inside jokes. This is a safe group. It's a family environment and those brining good vibes. This group is all inclusive: from old to young, single to married, introverted to extroverted, all races/ethnicities. If you want to see the world, try new foods, laugh & have a good time and shake your bonbon a little, this group is for you.

I witnessed the compassion they put into making this exactly what the title of the business is...ONE DOPE WEEKEND! I plan to travel again with them in the future because they became more than a client/business relationship, they became family!

This is a nice hiking area along the Chattahoochee River. We use this area primarily for hiking,…read morebut there are other activities on the CNRA website. This area is federal land with parking pass fee or use your annual/lifetime pass. First, the confusing part. Getting there! There is small sign or Akers Mill (see my picture) and it does not refer to it as West Palisades, even though all the markers inside the park say that. The intersections in the park on the trails are indicated as WP1, WP2, WP3, ... So to navigate go from one junction to another. There is handy wooden trail map at every junction. Trail names are non existent. Parking lot off Akers Mill is large and paved, but no bathrooms (WP12). Another large parking lot off Cobb Parkway has bathrooms (WP1). Also the park connects to county parks along Rottenwood Creek, which gives additional options. These are paved and more oriented towards bicycles. We did an 8 mile hike here. Starting at WP12. Hiking trails through the woods and along the river, back and forth with some decent elevation. When we got to WP1 we hiked along the Rottenwood Creek trail back to Akers Mill. At that point we walked along the road back to the parking area. Very nice combo of woods, paved paths, sidewalks. This was after Hurricane Zeta, so a lot of blow down on the trails but we were able to get around it. (See pics). A good workout! This was during covid and midweek, busy but not too bad. Have been here on the weekend and lots of folks, but plenty of parking and with the large size of the area plenty of space between groups hiking. Great area near the metropolitan area.

These natural parklands are a good place for walking, running, biking, kayaking and fly fishing! Ambiance is a natural park in the edge of a bustling city flanked by urban infrastructures...not manicured, full of bushes, trees, streams and the river with huge concrete overpasses. It's a good location to visit nature ITP. Here's the DL. About 1/3 of the paved trails and 3/4 of the unpaved trails are canopied with rolling elevation (~900 feet). Here, you could stroll a peaceful couple of miles and trail run moderate 5 - 8 miles. The paved trails are well marked and easy to navigate. But, the undeveloped trails are NOT with limited signs /blazes. Most unpaved trails are in the forest and have limited views of the river. Some parts are ridden with roots, loose rocks and boulders so wear proper shoes. When you do go on undeveloped trails, please "leave NO trace". There's a small ruin in the middle of the parklands but is unmarked, very steep with heavy over-growth. Biking is allowed ONLY on paved trails. Fly-fishing, I see when the water level is lower with slower currents. Encounters with trail blocking gumps occur here on weekends. Sunday strollers with NO self-awareness, blocking both sides, leisurewear selfie posers blocking trails and some parking themselves in the middle of an unpaved trail... :-/ Dogs on leash. There is No Maid service here to picks up your duty bag(s). There's a trash bin specifically for pets at the parking lot so pack out your 4 legged kids' mess paw-leash! Self-service...there are a few picnic tables, benches, animal proof trash bins, bathrooms, water fountains at the trail head and a boat ramp adjacent to the parking lot (off Cobb PKY / 41) for boats and kayaks. Next to the bathrooms there's a leveled grass area for Frisbees or other group games. Occasionally, I've seen CCP riding bicycles or electric motorcycles here as 2PDs are nearby. Parking is $3/day or $35/year and has about 60+ spots. Drive slowly...it's not the smoothest lot. Pay at the trailhead next to the boat ramp and the bathrooms. Be sure to display the perforated paper on your dash as rangers regularly check and ticket. These 4 nature areas are great if you are looking to workout with elevation changes in varying terrains...wood, boulders, concrete, mud, loose rocks, dirt...with views of the forest, streams and river at a nearby location. Enjoy!

The float was from Jones Bridge to just above Island Ford. Chris was awesome! His knowledge of the river, fly fishing, managing/handling a boat, and showing appreciation to his customers is second to none. We caught fish! Good size rainbow trout and brown trout. You will not be bored! Chris is a good conversationalist and has a good sense of humor. The float itself was quite scenic. Chris pointed out several interesting spots and told the history behind them. I recommend using his guide service. If Chris is not available, he has plenty of competent employees who can guide you.
