The Abbotts Bridge park is part of the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area is located on the banks of the river in Duluth, Georgia. It is one of the parks that make up a large group of parks and trails that span over 48 miles along the Chattahoochee River that make up the recreation area.
This is a smaller park along the Chattahoochee. It appears that most of the people that use this park are simply using it to let the dogs run free or to use the boat ramp. There is a small hiking area, but it is rather short.
