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 my first time hiking Boling Park in Canton.   Exploratory hike but  I obtained a map drafted by BSA Troop 241 which outlines the 10.3 mile route we will take.  We will hike on the gold, yellow, orange, green and other trails.

Boling Park borders the Etowah River.  

THe hike will begin from the parking lot at the back of Boling Park.

Since exploratory hike miles/time may be slightly under/over

Take Interstate 575 going North - Near Canton take Exit 16 and merge onto GA-140/GA-20 W/GA-5 Bus toward GA-5 Bus North.   You are going to come to a stop light at Williamson Brothers Barbeque in about a mile. This is GA-5 (Marietta Highway). Take a right onto GA-5 and go less than a half mile.  Cross over the Etowah River Bridge and take an immediate left into Boling Park. (Big sign in front of the park.)  Do not pass Cherokee High School. If you do, turn around.
