Itinerary:

TGIF! And what better way to end the (stressful) week than take a brisk walk, RAIN or SHINE, along the refurbished South Peachtree Creek boardwalk from MEDLOCK PARK to the Emory Candler Lake loop and back, with one hydration break at Candler Lake.

This is a FAST-PACED HIKE (15-16 min/mile = 3.75 to 4 mph), so if you prefer a slower pace, have mobility issues, or are recovering from injury, please sit this one out!

The majority of the hike is on a wooden boardwalk or concrete path, with a few sections of dirt and gravel, so wear appropriate footwear.

Required Items to Bring:

Weather appropriate gear
Hiking boots/shoes w/ good traction
Water, and
Your SOH (sense of humor)

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.

Hat
Snack
Camera

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

I will email detailed directions a day or two before the hike.

Notes:

Please, no unregistered guests or +Ones!

Late cancellations, particularly within 36 hours of the event, make it difficult for those on the waitlist to attend. Please be courteous to your fellow AOC members and cancel with as much notice as possible.

Please note: When an event has an active waitlist, the trip leader reserves the right to assign a “no show” to members who sign up and fail to attend the event.

If you need to get in touch with me, the best way is to TEXT me with your NAME at 4O4 7-Five-4 5OO5. FYI, thanks to those annoying robocalls, calling me will send you to my voicemail, but feel free to leave a message.

I usually hike RAIN-or-SHINE! However, in case of severe weather or other unforeseen emergencies that warrant a cancellation, I will text/email you at least TWO HOURS before the start of the event.

* We encourage all members to follow our Etiquette Guidelines while participating in AOC events.

Cost Includes:

There is no cost for this event!
