Itinerary:

Let's enjoy a morning ramble through Mason Mill and Lullwater Parks.  There will be a variety of terrains, including sections that are narrow and gnarly and on steep slopes – this is not a beginner’s hike!  We start with a variety of trails in Mason Mill Park. Then we’ll connect with the South Peachtree Creek trail which we’ll take for a loop around Lullwater and Candler Lake, then rejoin the Peachtree Creek trail to return to our starting point. Highlights include the Candler mansion in Lullwater, parts of the former Decatur waterworks, and two city champion trees. As stated above, there are some steep slopes with rocks, roots and gravel. This is not a fast or training hike; we will maintain an average speed of 2.6 to 2.8 mph except slower on the steep/rough sections.

We will meet in Mason Mill Park by the restrooms and playground. Please arrive a few minutes early to allow time for a restroom stop and mingling.
