Itinerary:

Join me at Island Ford as we enjoy a few of the trails in this beautiful park.

We will meet in the end parking lot near the Visitor's Center. There are restrooms at this location. 

There will be a few hills and areas of elevation, enough to get our heart rates up. I plan to get a nice workout in, but to also stop occasionally to admire the views along the way.

I like to appreciate the Chattahoochee as well as the wildlife.  There are usually geese, ducks, and maybe a hawk and/or heron to see.

Total Miles: about 5-7 depending on the paths we take.


Required Items to Bring:

$3 for parking fee (don't forget this!  You will get a ticket if you don't pay!),
good, comfortable hiking shoes or boots (brand new ones are not recommended),
lots of water to drink and stay hydrated, snacks, and a pleasant attitude!

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