Itinerary:

Since the shutdown started we cannot go to our favorite parks, so we decided to start scouting for new places and parks owned by cities or counties.. so we found a very beautiful nice trail. 

The Autrey Mill is owned and managed by the City of Johns Creek and Autrey Mill Nature Preserve Association. it is a well cared and maintained property. There are  multiple trails in the 46-acre property.

It has over 2 miles of mulched nature trails that feature a walk through a hardwood forest to pine forest. They wander past a scenic creek with rocky shoals, many spring seeps, mature trees, wildflowers, native plants, and a variety of animal life. There is plenty to explore with bridges, an outlook, a gold mine, foundation stones of the old mill, plus benches and pavilions (from Autrey Mill Nature Preserve page)

there is very less elevation.
