Itinerary:
Cochran Shoals at Gunby Rd entrance:
Join us for a sunny 5 mile hike thru the Cochran Shoals area along the Hooch. Our plan is to meet at 1955 Eugene Gunby Road park entrance at 1:45pm for introductions and begin our journey at 2pm.
 
This is a beautiful river hike along a wide path beside the river.  The focus of this hike will be SUNSHINE.  Feel free to go at your own pace, but we'll stay with a majority of the group.  This is a GREAT hike for beginners or anyone new to the AOC.  
 
There are restrooms at the starting location and the other side of our loop. The parking lot is large, but this is a popular location so arrive early to get your spot.  WE'LL GATHER AT 1:45pm JUST INSIDE THE GATE FOR INTRODUCTIONS BEFORE STARTING AT 2:00 SHARP.  Keep our cell numbers handy in case you need to reach us.
 
YOU'LL NEED $3.00 or a CRNRA annual parking pass $35.  They have a machine here where you can buy the yearly pass with your credit card.
 

Required Items to Bring:

Water, Hiking Shoes, rain gear as needed, a SMILE on your face

$3.00 or a CRNRA parking pass

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

Hiking poles if you like them as the course could be very wet according to the weather forecast.
