Itinerary:

Let's do a morning hike at this beautiful section of the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area. We will hike 4-5 miles of these trails at a moderate to fast pace including visiting the old dam on Big Creek.  This will be a great event for new hikers who are in good condition. 

All of the NCRA parks have a parking fee of $3 cash, unless you have a Chattahoochee NRA annual pass ($25). Alternately, you can park across the street and meet us in the Vickery Creek parking lot to save the three dollar fee.

If you bring your dog, it should be able to keep up with the group and interact well with other dogs and people. The Chattahoochee NRA requires that owners keep their dogs on a leash and clean up after their pets on the trails. 


Required Items to Bring:

Hiking Shoes and Water

Poles, if you like to use them
