Itinerary:

Looks like Wednesday will be a rainy day. Get your exercise in tomorrow and help me reach 1000 hikes by Thursday. Join me at Cochran Shoals- Interstate North one of the most beloved stretches of the Chattahoochee River for walking, running, biking, and dog‑friendly outings.

We will plan to meet in front of the restrooms around 9:50 am for introductions and start our hike at 10 am.

We’ll head north along the river and complete one loop of the Cochran Shoals Fitness Trail. A loop is about 3 miles, with the Columns Drive parking area at the midpoint.

Dogs are welcome . $5 daily parking pass is required for vehicles in the National Recreation Area.
