Itinerary:

Come explore the little known but gorgeous Jones Bridge Unit of the Chattahoochee NRA on Sunday Morning as we cover between 4.5 to 5.5 miles at a comfortable, moderate pace. We will make a couple of stops along the way to rehydrate.  

We will start our hike by heading towards the historic Jones Bridge.   We'll take a short break for a group picture and to view the rapids.  We will then walk along the river towards the pond as well as explore the woods and meadows throughout.  We’ll loop around the back end of the park to make our way back to the parking lot. The trails are relatively flat along the river but do expect four to five hills of about 150 feet of elevation. 

 We will meet in the parking lot at the very end of the entrance road.  Restrooms are available.

We will start promptly at 8:30AM and finish up around 10:30.

Please arrive 10 minutes early to allow time for introductions, pay the $3 parking fee, and use the restroom.

 Must bring fluids!!!!  

 Two dogs will be allowed on the hike. Typically, more than two creates havoc amongst the hikers and other dogs so expect a call if more than two dogs are signed up.

***Don't leave valuables in car as there have been some reports of vandalism.
