Itinerary:

This easy trail (1.5 miles) explores Power's Branch, a tributary of the Chattahoochee River and a ridge above the river. It include scenic stream side views, some with large granite boulders that make the area a photographer's dream. The land is adjacent to busy Roswell Road and actually includes a portion of the original road as well as part of the grade for the Bull Sluice Railroad. We will explore this area stopping for photography opportunities. We will follow this up with an optional lunch nearby. I am doing a second hike after lunch that day nearby. You may sign up for one or both. No car pool as this is a local event but if you need a ride please let me know.

Required Items to Bring:
At least .5 liters of water or other drink.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Hiking Shoes

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

From Atlanta or I-285 take GA 400 north to Exit 6, Northridge Road. At the end of the ramp turn right, crossing over GA 400 and continue straight. Turn left on GA 9/Roswell Road and continue south for 1.2 miles to the North Fulton Annex, just after Morgan Falls Dam Road. Turn left into the south (second) parking lot and look for the trailhead almost directly in front of you.
