Itinerary:

This loop follows a number of trails on Powers Island, the banks of the Chattahoochee, and the bluffs overlooking it. The walking distance is about 3 miles with several good hills to get the heartrate elevated.  We'll take it at a relatively moderate pace.  It would be a difficult beginner's hike, but a great one if you've hiked a bit and would like a little more challenge.


Only 3 dogs will be allowed on this hike, so if you see 3 dogs registered, please do not add yours.  As with all CNRA areas, dogs are to be kept on leash at all times.  Owners are expected to keep the trails free of doggie-doo.  :-)


Required Items to Bring:

Good hiking shoes,  water

Recommended Items to Bring:
