Itinerary:
Headlamp-Hikers,

Take an easy stroll through Boling Park.  This will be a fun hike with a moderate pace.  Nothing too strenuous here to worry about, just listen the the sounds of the Etowah River.  There are plenty of trails here but we will stick to the marked paths as much as possible, easy in and out.  We will be going from the parking lot of boling park back to jug creek.

Since it is now November, temperatures could start to get a little on the chilly side, so bring a jacket and gloves. 

***If there is a chance of rain or it is raining this will not cancel the hike***

New AOC members and beginners are more than welcome to attend!!!!  The hike is a little over 6 miles total, and this is a good way to judge if you are ready to attempt some longer hikes with the AOC. 

***Anyone that wants to stay around for lunch there is a Sports Bar in downtown Canton about two miles away.***

Jacket (Raincoat if raining)
Gloves
Small pack
Water
Hiking boots or shoes
