Itinerary:

Island Ford is one of the nicest hikes along the Chattahoochee, it also was one of my favorite local places to hike before I joined AOC. We will hike 2.5 miles on the new BEECH CREEK LOOP. There will be a few hills, but nothing too strenuous.

Please note: We will be hiking slow to moderate avraging 2 MPH.

We will meet at the first parking lot to the left at the beginning of the park. If you do not have an annual CRNRA parking pass, you will need to purchase the $5 daily parking pass at their Website CRNRA Parks. You may also purchase an annual pass for $40.00 online or download their app to purchase.
