Join Us for a Scenic Morning Hike at Cochran Shoals!

* This event is subject to last minute cancellation *

Whether you're looking to rack up some miles for the week or simply enjoy a peaceful walk along the river, we’d love to have you with us Thursday morning at Cochran Shoals. Nestled beside the Chattahoochee River, this popular spot is perfect for hiking, running, biking, and dog walking. We'll follow the trail north along the river, completing two loops of the Cochran Shoals Fitness Trail—a 3-mile loop with Columns Drive parking area at its midpoint. Our total trek will cover approximately 6.4 miles
