Itinerary:

This trail begins at the parking lot next to the Visitor Center and consists of a half a mile walk towards Lake Allatoona, mostly following Post Road, a 3 ½ mile loop that follows along the shores of Lake Allatoona for about half of its length, plus another half a mile back to the parking lot along Post Road. We will walk through forest, across fields, and along the shores of the lake. We will also pass by the chimney of an old homestead home. This hike offers the widest diversity and nicest scenery of all the trails in Red Top.
