Itinerary:
The Vickery Creek section of the Chattahooche National Recreation Area contains many miles of interconnected hiking trails. We will hike four or so miles of these trails including visting the old dam on Big Creek.

The pace will be moderate and since it is a small group we'll modify according to the group's needs.  The pace should be brisk enough for good fitness, but relaxed enough to enjoy our surroundings and chat.

Please remember to bring $3 for the National Park Service parking fee, unless you have a Chattahoochee NRA annual pass.

Dogs are most welcome! Your dog must be healthy and well socialized with unfamiliar people and dogs.

Required Items to Bring:
Pleasant disposition, comfortable hiking shoes, water, clothing appropriate for weather conditions
Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
