The Atlanta 100 Announces the Selection of the Nantahala Outdoor Center as the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area's Adventure Vendor
Atlanta, GA, August 14, 2014 (Newswire.com) - After the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area confirmed the selection of the Nantahala Outdoor Center as the adventure provider for a 6.5-mile section. The Atlanta 100 broke the news in a special edition newsletter on the selection, what it means for Atlanta outdoor enthusiasts, a look back at the ‘Hooch history and more.
What began as a group of Atlantan river enthusiasts has developed into the nation’s largest outdoor recreation company. The NOC serves seven rivers in the Southeast and hosts 120 different activities such as hiking, biking, yoga, paddle boarding and more. The NOC plans to open two riverside adventure centers, the NOC’s first centers in Georgia, along the Chattahoochee River.
"After visiting Bryson City, N.C., just 10 minutes away from the NOC, we felt compelled to begin reporting on and working with one of the country's most innovate, outdoor firms. We wanted to break the news in a creative way, not just in a press release. The special edition eNewsletter encompassing so many important aspects of the NOC and the Chattahoochee seemed like the perfect medium."
