Itinerary:

We will start this trail off of the red top mnt rd, the trailhead is on left before Bethany Bridge.

A system made up of three different trails. The yellow blaze that leads through the mature wooded shoreline of lake Allatoona and on to some great views of the dam below from the ridge. The red blaze trail which ascends to the highest point of the trail system at Vineyard Mountain (Elevation: 1,354 Feet - Latitude: 340931N Longitude: 0844343W) and the blue blaze which leads up Vineyard Mountain from the 2nd trailhead at the Etowah River to quickly intersect with the yellow and red trails.

We will head back to our car once we reach the end. I suggest bringing a flashlight or headlamp as it is getting darker earlier.
