Itinerary:

This trail rolls gently along the Chattahoochee River, then enters the woods, where we will have a number of trail options.  There are some relatively easy uphill climbs, but I plan to keep a moderate pace so that we can get a good workout while enjoying the beauty this park offers.  We should complete the hike in a little over 2 hours.  It's quite common to observe deer and other wildlife on this hike.  The hike will be approximately 5 miles.

We'll meet in the parking lot at the very end of the entrance road.  Restrooms are available.

There is a $3 parking fee if you don't have an annual pass.  Also note that there are two entrances to the park...one is usually gated but other one farther north off Barnwell is is open and where we are meeting...see more detailed directions below.


Required Items to Bring:

$3 parking fee; Appropriate clothing for weather;

Recommended Items to Bring:

How to Get There:
