Duck boats ride again

Things to Do

The Duck boats were operating at Stone Mountain again after being closed for maintenance review following a deadly crash in Philadelphia.

The duck boats were back in operation at Stone Mountain Park after undergoing maintenance reviews in the wake of last week's deadly collision in Philadelphia.

People arrive for their 11 a.m. appointment to ride the Ducks. Jeanine Jones, a Stone Mountain Park spokeswoman, said the boats are running two at a time, but all five will be in rotation this weekend.

Younger children are required to wear life vests.

Visitors can choose from plenty of duck quackers before boarding the Ducks.

Appointments were sold out Tuesday as people boarded.
