Itinerary:

This park opened on July 1st 2011 and is Georgia's first new state park since Tallulah Gorge State Park opened in 1993. It occupies 2,900 acres of varied natural land in western Coweta County, with seven miles of river frontage along the Chattahoochee River. Georgia has 45 state parks and this is the fifth largest.

We will walk a loop that will include parts of most trails in the park as well as a few back roads. Our plan is to hike at a moderate pace with time to enjoy our surroundings.

We will have lunch on the trail.
