About This Access Site
The Valley City Ramp on the Chattahoochee River in Chambers County, Alabama provides convenient river access for kayakers, canoeists, and small motorized boats. This ramp is located within the Hardley Creek Park, which is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The Chattahoochee River is a major waterway, stretching over 400 miles with an average flow rate of over 20,000 cubic feet per second. At this location near the river's headwaters, the river has a moderate gradient of about 8 feet per mile, creating a mix of pools and riffles that are well-suited for paddling. The park offers paved walking trails, picnic areas, and fishing opportunities in addition to the boat ramp.
While the Hardley Creek Park is reservable, there are no fees specifically associated with the boat ramp itself. Paddlers and boaters should contact the park at 706-645-2937 for the latest information on hours, rules, and any current conditions that may affect river access.
