Itinerary:

Join me for an evening fast paced hike along the Suwanee Greenway. 

We'll start Suwanee Sports Center trailhead and will be walking on the Greenway toward George C Pierce Park and then return to the sports center. 

We will be moving at a moderate pace, approximately 3.5 miles an hr. and will be making a few stops at the lake and along the way. Our goal is 7.5 miles in approximately 2 hours 15 min. with stops; it will not be a leisurely pace.

Hiking through the Suwanee Greenway Trail gives you that amazing imagination of how the County has transformed a neglected dumping ground of hazardous chemicals into environmentally sound wetlands and parks. According to history, in less than 30 years, this transformed environment enticed herons, egrets, hawks and even waterfowl and raptors to inhabit this wetland. This is another success story of Gwinnett County's innovation to serve the public.

The hike will start promptly at 5.30 pm so plan to arrive early.
