Itinerary: | |||||||
From the parking lot we will walk on a couple of different trails to the
banks of the Chattahoochee. When we reach Sibley pond, we will head
East towards the old flour mill by Paper Mill Rd. to take a water break and
eat our snacks. Then we will proceed by smaller trails in the Sope Creek
area to see the old paper mill that was burned by Union forces during the
Civil War (a must see) across the creek. From here we will make our way
to Cochran Shoals and loop back to the Sope Creek parking lot. | |||||||
