Itinerary:

Iron Hill Trail has lots of water views of Lake Allatoona - very flat trail, couple little bumps but nothing that I would consider a hill - we will begin our hike from the Visitor Center at Red Top Mountain State Park - cross the road and take the Campground Trail over to the Iron Hill Trail - and then do two loops on the Iron Hill - entire hike should be approx. 8 miles.  Great for hikers that don't like hills (me) but want to get in some mileage. Not a super fast hike, not leisurely, somewhere in between.

$5 entrance fee to GA State Park or display your annual pass in vehilce.

Restrooms are available at the visitor's center
