Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

We will start off on The Sope Creek Trail that goes through a predominantly deciduous forest, rolling over moderate elevation changes along dirt and gravel trails. The Sope Creek Trail connects to the popular Cochran Shoals trail.

We will connect with the Cochran Shoals Trail which will lead us to the gravel path for a short time and then back into woods. This trail will bring us to the Powers Ferry/Interstate North trails.

The Powers Ferry/Interstate North Trail is one of the lesser-traveled trails of Atlanta’s Chattahoochee National Recreation Area. Serene and sometimes deserted, this quiet hiking and running trail loops through a beautiful riverside forest. The trail explores an island, an inlet, and the banks of the shoaling Chattahoochee River

At the Powers Ferry trail, we will loop around and head back through the 3 Parks, but on different trails until we reach the Sope Creek parking lot.

Parking fee is $3 dollars unless you have a Park Pass. Parking tickets can be purchased at the parking lot.

We will leave PROMPTLY at 8:30am.

There are no Restrooms at the Sope Creek parking lot.

Two dogs are permitted and must abide by the leash laws.

As always, do not leave any valuables in your car or trunk due do potential car vandalism.
