About Us

FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED SINCE 1990. Through our professional services and facilities, we make it simple for families and friends to Shoot the ‘Hooch, relax, and enjoy being outside together. Our adventures showcase the beauty of the Southern Appalachian outdoors within the storybook charm of ‘Georgia’s Alpine Village.’

Our History

We are a small, family-owned and operated recreation company. Although working in recreation for almost 30 years, our family has homestead farmed just north of Helen for many generations. We’ve seen a lot of change in Helen — from all-Appalachia days to the Alpine tourist destination it is today. At Cool River and in our individual lives, we strive to continue to contribute positively to the town, to visitors’ experiences, and to the surrounding area.
