kmm66101 above has a good take on this. There are some paved walkways and there are some rougher dirt paths to hike. I have seen a lot of people hiking with toddlers but its a lot of work without the stroller so I suppose you'll be limited to the main visitor center area, mostly.

There are at least six different parks in north Atlanta. Each park has many short trails. If you combine trails you can hike up to 4 miles. Unfortunately I have never seen much wild life anywhere, except on the River. The park with the most river frontage is Cochran Shoals. Good luck.

Q:
I bought an annual Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area pass, after buying the daily pass now and then. Do I leave it on my dashboard when I am hiking?

I got a "hanger" from the CRNRA hqs at Island Ford. I would just lay it on the dash with perinent info up.
