Itinerary:
THIS IS THE FIRST CHATTANOON HIKE IN 2012. 
 
The ChattaNoon Hikes are very suitable for Newbies and Beginners. Why? We are not planning to set new speed records. If we hike close to 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.


Come and join me on the trails at Johnson Ferry, North - Unit of the Chattahoochee NRA. Johnson Ferry is maybe one of the least known trails at the Chattahoochee. We will hike along the river ... to the Bull Sluice Lake ... as well as off the river crossing several small creeks. Since the terrain is rather flat, with only a few hills, we will most probably walk a tad faster than usual.

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

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