Spent many MANY hours on the Chattahoochee as a teenager, it was a major contributor to my failing out of college the first time....go to class or swim out to a big flat rock in the middle of the river and pass out in the sun for several hours. That's how my May/June of my freshman year. I had a great tan that year. A bunch of us also decided to skip school/college and float the river one day. We were the only idiots out there, forgot paddles but went anyway. It did not go as planned, but did go as expected. We still had fun. My first date with my first serious girlfriend was hanging out on the banks of the river, we both got destroyed by mosquitoes but did not care, and it became a frequent hangout spot for us when we wanted to be outside but it was too hot to go anywhere away from a body of water. When that song came out, none of my friends liked country, but we all loved that song II think back now about all the time I spent swimming in that nasty-a$$ed river and shudder.....At least we were swimming on the north side of Atlanta, BEFORE it picked up all the tributaries that drained out of Atlanta.

Hooray

Exactly. I got family and friends on Tapps so I have experienced too many weekends out there good and bad. Tapps is a great place, just not for me anymore. I am surprised @iFred hasn’t weighed in on his home lake.

Seahawks are going to annihilate the Commanders.

Tapps has 45 miles of shoreline... pretty insane. On a hot summer weekend day it does get pretty crazy on Tapps but if we are living on the lake we can also go boating during the non-peak times.
