Itinerary:

This 4.8 mile trail explores the shores of Bull Sluice above Morgan Falls Dam and climbs into the Chattahoochee watershed. We will hike through lovely deciduous forest with views of the lake and tributaries to the Chattahoochee river. There are several lovely knolls to explore with rock outcroppings also. There is an optional lunch BEFORE this hike. Details to be determined but it will be in the immediate area. I am doing another hike that morning before lunch. You can sign up for one or both hikes. There is no carpool but if you need a ride please let me know. We may setup an informal carpool at the lunch spot or at the parking lot from the early morning hike.

Required Items to Bring:
1 liter water

Recommended Items to Bring:

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

From Atlanta or I-285 take GA 400 north to Exit 6 onto Northridge Road. Travel 0.4 miles to GA 9 / Roswell Road and turn right at the light. Follow Roswell Road for 1.8 miles. Just after the long Chattahoochee River Bridge, turn left on Azalea Dr. Travel 1.8 miles to Wileo Road and turn left. In 1.3 miles Wileo makes a sharp left and becomes Lower Roswell Road. Continue 0.7 mile and turn left at the brown Gold Branch sign. The road immediately turns to gravel. Make the first right into the parking lot.
