Itinerary:

This Gwinnett park is very close to Stone Mountain Park, and some stretches go along the Yellow River. The 566-acre park has roughly 12 miles of trails - some hiking, some biking, some equestrian, and some mixed use.

We will be hiking approximately 5 miles, starting at the Yellow River. We will remain in the equestrian trails and take some of the biking and hiking trails to return to the parking lot. The hike will be almost enteriley silent. We will break our silence 20 minutes before we get back to the parking lot.

We will meet at the parking lot next to the pavilion and the restrooms. Although this is not a "silent hike", there is an official sign encouraging not making too much noise. If we get lucky, we will see big turtles.

Thanks Mark R. for the picture!  !
