Itinerary:

This short in-out, backtrack hike starts just off Riverside Road in Roswell. Hikers of all skill levels will enjoy the moderate terrain.

The Vickery Creek section of the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area contains many miles of interconnected hiking trails. Our plan is to hike four to six miles of these trails including visiting the old dam on Big Creek. We will hike at a steady, moderate pace pausing occasionally to take in the scenery. The hike will includie some moderate elevation change. 

Please remember to bring $3 for the National Park Service parking fee, unless you have a Chattahoochee NRA annual pass.
