In Partnership with Sandy Springs Recreation and Parks, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, and Empower Therapy
Join us for an inclusive and accessible day on the water with Adaptive Fishing, a program designed to remove barriers and create lasting memories for individuals of all abilities. Whether you're a seasoned angler or trying fishing for the first time, this experience is built to meet you where you are.
We can support 16 adaptive anglers and their families, offering personalized assistance based on individual needs. For some participants, simply having a smaller, sensory-friendly event on even terrain makes all the difference. Others may benefit from adaptive equipment including:
EcoRover all-terrain mobility chairs (6 available; waiver required)
Adaptive wrist, grip, and arm supports
Hearing, vision, and tactile impairment aids
On-the-spot training and hands-on support
We will meet in the Morgan Falls Dam lower parking lot (crushed gravel surface, you will see our dog park) and make our way to Trail 2A, which features a boardwalk and paved walkway, where we’ve received special permission to fish for this adaptive event.
This welcoming, supportive environment ensures everyone has the chance to enjoy the outdoors and discover the joy of fishing—safely and with dignity.
This is a free event but registration is required:
