Itinerary:

Join me for a mid day workout at the Roswell Mill.  Parking is free.  This will be a fast paced hike with several challenging hills.  It should be sunny weather and some good views of the mill and creek.

Please be sure you can manage a moderately fast pace over some rocky, root-laden trails, elevation-changing trails. We plan to be finished by one o'clock so you can still do some Saturday chores.

We will start on time. Please plan to arrive a few minutes early to check in and do intros. There is a bathroom at this location, so allow an extra 5 minutes to use the facility before we start. 

We are meeting at the Roswell Mill entrance to the Vickery Creek trailhead, just off S. Atlanta Road in Roswell.  There is no parking fee at this location.  Detailed directions are below.


Required Items to Bring:

Fluids, good hiking shoes/boots.

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

How to Get There:
Event Directions:

There are a lot of ways to get to the Roswell Mill. It's at 120 and S. Atlanta Road in Roswell. Use either the physical address below or the lat/lon coordinates to get your own directions. We are meeting behind all of the shops at the Roswell Mill Center. Just keep driving down the road till you get to the big parking lot at the very bottom of the long hill.  

Roswell Mill trailhead is where Hwy 9 (S. Atlanta St) and Hwy 120 (Marietta Hwy) intersect. There's a popular restaurant called Chaplin's in that shopping center. When you turn in to the shopping center (from either direction) you will be on Mill St. - Mill St dead ends in to Mill St. (you read it right) and you take a right on to Mill St which will dead end at the parking lot.
