Want to learn more about the headwaters of the Chattahoochee River? Mark your calendar for these events that will immerse attendees in all things river.
“We’re doing a variety of activities to involve our constituents in the headwaters,” said Mallory Pendleton, Headwaters outreach manager with Chattahoochee Riverkeeper’s Gainesville office. “From hikes to fishing events, we’ll have events for all ages and interests.”
On Saturday, April 16, CRK will benefit from RiverFest, the launch party for Left Nut Brewing Company’s newest brew, Pure Source IPA.
Entertainment, food trucks, cornhole and fly-fishing demonstrations will take place from 1 to 8 p.m. at the brewery, 2100 Atlanta Highway, Gainesville. The company will donate a portion of the proceeds to CRK for every Pure Source IPA sold through the summer.
The group will celebrate Earth Day on Friday, April 22, with a hike at Buck Shoals Wildlife Management Area with the Soque River Watershed Association.
Other upcoming events include “All-kids fish Event in Helen” and a sunset cruise on Lake Lanier on the CRK floating classroom, the 40-foot Chota Princess II motorized catamaran.

“It’s going to be a party to kick off the lake season,” said Jennifer Flowers, executive director of the lake advocacy group. “We’ll be thanking our members and sponsors for their continued support and looking forward to the 2022 boating season.” Entertainment will be provided by Gina Gailey Band. The event will feature a cash bar and food from Fish Tales and Pig Tales.
“Attendees can connect with members of our board to learn about our various initiatives, including Adopt-a-Lake, Shore Sweep, See Something Say Something,” Flowers said. “We also want to hear from our members about their issues and concerns.”
The event is free for members, but registration is required. Members of the group have been emailed a registration link and details for the event. To join the LLA, visit www.lakelanier. org.
