Itinerary: | |||||||
This will be a moderately paced, rain or shine, 6 mile hike. We will walk several trails within the unit and stop ocassionally for a water break or to click a few pictures. There are quite a few hills, and some of the trails are laden with rocks and tree roots, as such this isn't a beginner hike. 2 well-behaved dogs will be allowed on this hike, but they must be on a leash at all times. You must pick up after your dog. There are no restrooms at this location. If you have been to this location in the past 4 months, you will know the entry location has been shifted by a few feet, so be on the lookout when you are driving. Parking is 3 dollars cash unless you have an annual pass. | |||||||

How to Get There: | |||||||
Event Directions: | Approx Physical Address - 6156 Lower Roswell Rd, Marietta, GA 30068 GPS - co-ordinates - 33° 59' 6.14" N, 84° 23' 13.22" W Gold Branch is on Lower Roswell Road, between Johnson Ferry Road and Wileo Road. The sign is now visible from the road since bushes have been trimmed during road expansion; however, the park entrance is between residential subdivisions and is easy to miss if you're not watching for it. If you're coming from Johnson Ferry Road, it's on the right, about 2 miles from Johnson Ferry. If you're coming from Wileo, it's also a couple of miles, but on your left. If you're following Azalea Drive and turn left onto Wileo, be aware that Wileo becomes Lower Roswell Road when it does a 90 degree left turn. The park is 2 miles further down Lower Roswell - - on your left. Remember, it's very easy to pass right by it, so slow down and look for the little turn-off after 2 miles! For those who have been to Gold Branch in the past, be prepared for turning at a new entrance. Slow down as you get close! | ||||||
