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:

Please join me for an evening hike at Medlock Bridge (CRNRA) Park, one of the smaller and lesser hiked CRNRA parks. We will do two loops around to make a 1 1/2 hour approximate 4 mile hike

Located along the banks of the Chattahoochee the trails along the river are fairly flat but when we hit some of the interior trails it will be a little more challenging, enough for a workout but not too strenous.

Dogs are welcome on this hike although they must be leashed at all times and must be friendly both with hikers and other dogs that we may encounter on the trail.

See driving directions below - Route 141 is a very busy road and heavy traffic at that time - leave enough time to arrive a few minutes prior to 5:30 for introductions. Hike will begin promptly at 5:30.

$3.00 parking fee requred and can be paid at kiosk in the parking lot, those of you with annual passes are good to go. Annual passes can be purchased online or at Island Ford Park.

Required Items to Bring:

Hiking Shoes/Boots

Water

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