Itinerary:
The ChattaNoon Hikes are very suitable for Newbies and Beginners. Why? We are not planning to set new speed records. If we hike four miles only, at a little slower pace, that's OK too. We'll get our heart rates up though. We may even sweat a bit, but you won't need a shower before going back to work. All ten hikes will be at different places at the Chattahoochee NRA, beginning at Noon. Ah, that's why they are called ChattaNoon Hikes. Please be on time, because we will leave on time ... some need to get back to work.


This is a rain, shine, or snow hike (except under extreme thunder storm warning).

Come join me on the trails at the Jones Bridge Unit of the Chattahoochee NRA. While not as well-known as some of the other branches of the Chattahoochee NRA, Jones Bridge has an excellent system of trails which can be combined to many miles hiking. Much of our hike will be along the river, but a good bit of it will be in the nearby woods. There will be a few hills you will need to climb but nothing with over a 150 foot elevation gain. Due to the many possible side trails it is important that we remain together fairly closely as a group.

If you have any questions e-mail the Event Coordinator.

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, you will see a parking lot at your right SKIP that one and continue...the road will end into another parking lot. This is where we are supposed to meet.
