Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:
This is last minute but I hope you can join us. The weather is looking like it's going to be pretty! The streams and creeks should be flowing again after the rain yesterday.

We will hike the white trail along the river, then head down the orange trail towards the yellow blazed trail. It's a pretty trail that follows a stream then heads up along the ridge. The pace will be moderate to fast.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:Take I-75 North to I-575 North
From 575 N, take exit 16 and merge GA-140 W/GA-20 W towards GA-5 North
You are going to come to a stoplight. (Williams Bros Barbeque is to the right of the light.) This is GA-5 (Hwy 5), take a right on GA-5 N

Travel less than 1/2 mile, cross over the Etowah River bridge and take the next left into BOLING PARK. (Big sign at the entrance.)
If you pass Cherokee High School you've gone a little too far.

Once you've turned into the park, continue all the way to the back of the park, past the huge speed bumps, past the soccer fields and the water treatment plant. We will meet in front of the pavillion at the very back of the park which will be on your right once your back there.

There is no parking fee.
Restrooms are available.
