Itinerary:

Please join me for a hike through the beautiful trails of Vickery Creek in Roswell. We will start on the Roswell side and hike into the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. This is a very nice park with creeks, hills and lots of varied vegetation.

We will keep a steady moderate pace stopping a few times at the tops of hills to regroup and for water. Our goal will be to get in 5.5 miles in two hours. There are some moderate climbs but nothing too hard.

There are restrooms at this location, but please arrive a few minutes early to check in and use the bathroom, if needed, as we will leave on time.

We are meeting at the Roswell Mill entrance where the parking is free. Directions are below.

I'm allowing up to three well-behaved dogs on this hike. They must get along with people and other dogs, and be on leash at all times. When signing up, if you see that three other dogs are already listed, please do not sign up your dog.

Required Items to Bring:

- Water to keep you hydrated

- Good sturdy hiking shoes

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

- Sunscreen (even in winter you can get too much sun)

- Hiking poles

- Layered clothing for winter temperatures

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

We are meeting behind the shops at the Roswell Mill Center where the parking is free. It is where Hwy 9 (S. Atlanta St) and Hwy 120 (Marietta Hwy) intersect. Keep driving down the road until you get to the big parking lot at the very bottom of the hill. For a zoomable map or satellite view of that spot click the rectangular blue and green "event location" icon near the top of this article.
