Itinerary:

This trail rolls gently along the Chattahoochee River, then enters the woods, where we will have a number of options. There are some relatively easy uphill climbs, but I plan to keep a moderate pace so that we can get a good workout while enjoying the beauty this park offers. We should complete the hike in a little over 2 hours. It's quite common to observe deer and other wildlife on these trails. The distance is approximately 5 miles.

We'll meet in the parking lot at the very end of the entrance road. Restrooms are available.

There is a $3 parking fee if you don't have an annual pass. Also note that there are two entrances to the park. The first is usually gated. The second entrance, further north on Barnwell Road, is where we will meet. More detailed directions are provided below.

Required Items to Bring:

$3 parking fee or annual parking pass

Appropriate clothing for weather

Plenty of fluid for adequate hydration

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

Snacks, if desired

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

Turn left on Barnwell Rd, and travel approx 2 miles to Jones Bridge Branch which will be on the right. Turn in and go a little over 1/2 mile to large parking lot at end of road.
