We will meet at the parking area at the end of Columns Drive off of Johnson Ferry Road. Look for us by the gate entrance to the gravel path.

We'll start our hike with a loop down by the water before heading up into the trails to explore some of what Cochran Shoals has to offer! We'll hike the trails and I'll show you how the lower part of this ties into the hikes from Sope Creek!

There are rest rooms available.

And don't forget your parking pass!
