Itinerary:

We will make two loops of the flat gravel path that runs along the Chattahoochee River and then through the Cochran Shoals unit. Each loop is about 3 miles long. Our pace will be about 3 MPH. Not crazy fast, but definitely on the faster side. The terrain will be gravel and dirt basically the whole way.

We will meet at the trailhead at the north end of the Cochran Shoals parking lot. Please arrive 10 minutes early for socializing and introductions because we will be starting the hike on time.

There are bathrooms at this trailhead and at the Columns Drive trailhead that we will pass a little later in the hike.

Please note that CRNRA locations require a $5 Daily Pass or a $40 Annual Pass, which can be purchased via your phone in the parking lot or online. America the Beautiful National Parks Passes also can be used at CRNRA parks.
