Itinerary:

After work hike at Island Ford. I don't have a route planned, do you? See you there.


We are parking at the Visitor's Center which is all the way back. The Visitor's Center closes at 5pm so there will be no restrooms available.

This is not a beginner hike.

You're welcome to bring your dog but please follow the rules. The Chattahoochee NRA requires that owners keep their dogs on a leash and clean up after their pets on the trails. Please cooperate with the posted rules. Dogs MUST be on leash at all times for this event

 

We will start on time, so please arrive 5-10 minutes early to check in.

This park requires a $3 parking fee, so if you don't have an annual pass, be sure to bring $3 cash.

Hiking Shoes and Water
