Itinerary: | |||||||
Vickery Creek is a beautiful section of the Chattahoochee National Recreation Area. We will hike around 4 miles of these trails at a moderate to fast pace including visiting the old dam on Big Creek. Please read this part carefully: as long as there has not been any recent rain we will take the cliffs. It can be a little bit technical and not super fun if you're scared of heights. The trail between the cliffs and the parking lot is a little bit overgrown. If you are susceptible to poison ivy I would suggest wearing long pants. It's very easy to navigate through. And secondly, we will see the dam from both sides and take a trail that requires you to cross a very wide pipe (not bridge) over the creek. The pipe is about 5 feet off of the water, the water is about waist deep and the length is about 25 feet and is the only way across. I hate heights and I crossed it without any issue. It's just something fun to do and it gets us on some of the trails that aren't quite as used as others. This is a more fast paced hike and not recommended for beginners - - but it's not as fast as a fitness hike.
