Itinerary:

Join me for a walk along the Etowah Trail, approximately 6 miles, at a slow to moderate pace. You'll see a cool bridge built by the cub scouts with a little help from their engineer friends. The trail goes along the Etowah River, with a steep bank on your other side. Then we'll head thru the forest making a loop on the green blazed trail. I think you'll enjoy it!

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Take I-75 North to I-575 North

From I-575-N, take exit 16 and merge GA-140 W/GA-20 W toward GA-5 N.

You are going to come to a stoplight (Williamson Brother BBQ is to the right of the light). This is GA-5 (Hwy 5). Take a Right on GA-5N.

Travel a little less than 1/2 a mile, cross over the Etowah River bridge and take next left into Boling Park. (Big sign in the front of the park)

(If you pass Cherokee High School, then you've gone just a tad bit too far. Boling Park is actually behind the school and runs along the Etowah River).

Ok, so once you turn turn into Boling Park, continue until you come to the back of the park. You'll pass a lot of soccer fields and watch out for those speed bumps!!

Park in the very back of the park. We'll be meeting in the Pavillion to which is on the right once you get back there. The park does have restrooms.
