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:

Today is a special milestone event! Laura M. will reach her very first centennial hike today . . . her 100th AOC event. Please plan to stay after the hike for a little celebration. (If you'd like to bring something to share, please do!)

David and I have hiked here, but we're marking this as exploratory until we get an established route. Note: Construction is going on, so we may need to change our route. We'll do our best to end on time, but please be flexible.

We will start our hike at the restrooms at the Johnson Ferry North Parking lot. We will follow the trail along the river until we come to Mulberry Creek where we will follow it to Hyde Farm. Also possible stop near Morgan Falls Dam. Lots of stream crossings with rock hopping, so waterproof shoes might prove helpful. (David says he's never gotten his feet wet, but that's no guarantee that we won't!)

Approximate address:

301 Johnson Ferry Rd SE

Marietta, Ga 30068

The Johnson Ferry North trailhead is located near where Johnson Ferry Road crosses the Chattahoochee River. The park is located on the Cobb County side of the river and the park entrance is directly across JFR from Columns Drive. There is a traffic light at this intersection.

If you are coming from East Cobb, the park is on the left side of JFR immediately before crossing the river. If coming from Sandy Springs, turn right immediately after crossing the river. You will see the parking pay station immediately in front of you and a gate. Drive through the gate and proceed to the back paarking lot where we will meet.

Parking is $5 for the day unless you have a CRNRA annual pass in your vehicle. A pass can be purchased at the kiosk in the parking lot but to do so you must use your smartphone to pay. It's better to purchase a pass in advance online at: https://www.nps.gov/chat/planyourvisit/fees.htm.
