Where to Paddleboard Around Atlanta
Atlanta is heating up, and I’ve found my favorite way to cool off this summer. Rent or bring your own SUP board (paddleboard) or Kayak to one of these great locations. Take in the views and catch some sun, all while getting in a great workout. Bring the kids, they will love it too!
As a beginner SUP boarder, I have found that Murphs Surf Shop sits in some great locations for those who are new to the sport and the area. The Morgan Falls Overlook location was my first SUP boarding experience with my equipment, and even though I brought my board, the staff at Murph’s were extremely helpful. My friends rented boards at this location so they could join me, and they enjoyed their experience. Murphs can answer any questions you have about the area, and you can reserve boards and kayaks to rent on their website.
Morgan Falls Overlook – 200 Morgan Falls Overlook Park, Sandy Springs, GA 30350

Other great spots on my list to check out:
