Itinerary:
The Vickery Creek section of the Chattahooche National Recreation Area contains many miles of interconnected hiking trails. Our plan is to hike about six miles of these trails including visiting the old dam on Big Creek.

We will meet at Riverside Park (575 Riverside Road Roswell, GA) where there should be plenty of free parking. We will then walk across the road to Vickery Creek where we will begin our hike. 

If you bring your dog(one per owner please), it should be able to keep up with the group and interact well with other dogs and people. The Chattahooche NRA requires that owners clean up after their pets on the trails and they should be leashed. A maximum of three dogs will be permitted on this hike.

Required Items to Bring:
Shoes you can hike in
Water bottle
Clothing appropriate for weather conditions
You should be OK without hiking boots on these trails		Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Trail Snacks
Camera
Drink such as Gatorade

How to Get There:
Event Directions:We will be meeting at Riverside Park parking lot just off Riverside Drive in Roswell. The map below should give the location. You can also put 575 Riverside Road Roswell GA in your map program or GPS for directions. There are actually two parking lots with the 575 address. We will be meeting at the one at the stop light and that has restroom facilities.

From South on US 9 (Roswell Road) Go north on US 9 until you cross the Chattahoochee River. At the first light take a right on Riverside Road. The entrance to Riverside Park will be shortly after this on your right.

From US 9 North in Roswell/Alpharetta - Travel south on US 9 until just before you reach Chattahoochee River. Take left on Riverside Road. The entrance to Riverside Park will be shortly after this on your right.
