Itinerary:

Jones Bridge was originally built in 1904 as a way to get people and goods across the Chattahoochee River. The last remaining section of the bridge collapsed into the river in 2018.

Join me for a hike along the scenic Chattahoochee River at Jones Bridge.  We will cover approximately 5 miles at a moderate pace between 2.5-2.75 mph with a few water breaks along the way.   It is fairly flat with a couple of hills.

We will meet in the parking lot at 9:20 AM for introductions and start promptly  at 9:30 AM.  There are bathrooms available here.

Don't leave any valuables in your car!
