Itinerary: | |||||||
Hike around one of the hidden gems just minutes from I-285. The trail ranges from easy along the river to moderate as we take some steep climbs through the forest. It’s strenuous enough in places to enable us to have a good workout as we wind our way around the trails. Be prepared for strenous climbs! The hills in this park seem never- ending and it is a fantastic workout! We will encounter at least 4 of these hills making this a solid D3. This hike will be at a moderate pace & we will stop for fewer breaks. With spring in the air, the views of the Chattahoochee should be breathtaking! Plus, the bamboo forest and bluffs are the perfect reward to a good hike.
Please carry adequate water to stay hydrated. There is a 3$ parking fee unless you have an annual pass. There are no restrooms, but we have an abundance of trees. | |||||||
