Itinerary:

Staying fit is important even in the winter months. With this in mind, Riverside Park is the perfect place to walk a brisk 5 miles on flat surfaces to stay fit. 

All levels of hikers including newcomers are invited to join us on Thursdays!  

 Riverside Park is conveniently located between Sandy Springs, and Roswell, GA. The park has paved trails that go along the Chattahoochee River, so that we may enjoy some of the excellent views along the river walk while energizing to start our  weekend.   The park also has a Splash Park for children, docks for fishing, picnic areas and a playground. 

However, for this event we are simply walking at a moderate pace to energize and enjoy nature. We will be starting our hike at 7:00 am and plan to complete our 5-mile walk by 8:30 am.  You willl also be finished in time to make another event on Thursday. 

Perfect for beginners and newcomers!

Because the trail loops back into the parking lot at the 1/2 point,  if you just want to hike three miles this is an option for some.  

Also t he park has bathrooms and concession stand that are located in front of the playground. You will see them when you pull into the parking lot. In either case, please meet in front of the concession and bathroom area.

I look forward to hiking with everyone!
