MORGAN FALLS BRIDGE
In 2009 the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, Sandy Springs and Cobb County proposed to construct a bridge below Morgan Falls Dam. The bridge would be for pedestrian and bicycle use only. It would be constructed as a free span bridge over the Chattahoochee River and would connect visitors to the Sandy Springs' Morgan Falls Park with National Park Service land in Cobb County below Hyde Farm.

At the time the Morgan Falls Park had yet to be developed and there were no amenities on the Sandy Springs side of the river and the bridge faced opposition from Cobb County residents who failed to see the benefit of the bridge. However, Sandy Springs recently adopted trails master plan is set to build some of its first trail within the next year to connect the beautiful Morgan Falls Park to Roswell Road creating amazing assets on both sides of the River and a natural connection.


The bridge and Hyde Farm trails are key components of the proposed Chattahoochee Riverlands trails preferred route and would create game changing connectivity for Cobb, Sandy Springs and Roswell residents.
Unfortunately, the Hyde Farm and Morgan Falls bridge plans have been omitted from the current Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area trails plan. Thankfully, this plan is under public review and open for public comment until April 15th.
