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 in exploring a new trail (new to me).  I have never hiked Powers Island or Cochran Shoals Interstate North and this Saturday will be my first time there.  

Hike will be approximately 5 miles and just about 2 hours - since it is exploratory we may be slightly over or under on the time or mileage- we will first hike the trails at Powers Island and then walk on the sidewalk at Interstate North Parkway for a very short distance and then pick up the trails on the other side of the river at Cochran Shoals

 

We will meet in the Powers Island parking lot - Riveredge Lane NW Sandy Spring 30328

(CRNRA states on their website that the address is  5450 Interstate North Parkway, Sandy Spring, GA, 30328 BUT I Googled the Riveredge Lane address and I think that is more accurate)

$3.00 parking fee at the CRNRA parks - pass can be purchased at Kiosk in parking lot for $3.00 cash or if you already have the annual pass just display in your vehicle.

(CRNRA states on their website that the address is  5450 Interstate North Parkway, Sandy Spring, GA, 30328 BUT I Googled the Riveredge Lane address and I think that is more accurate)

From 400 North or South - take 285 West - take exit 22 for NEW Northside Drive, at first light take a right (one way road) to continue on Northside Drive.  Continue straight and the road will change names to Interstate North Parkway (DO NOT get on Northside Drive NW)  take Interstate North Parkway about two miles and make a right on Riveredge Lane NW (just before you cross the river).  Don't pass it because you would have to completely loop around 285 and New Northside again - please give yourself additional driving time.
