Itinerary:

We'll slow it down a bit for this hike, going at a moderate pace, so that we cover about 4 miles in an hour and a half. Although the pace will be manageable, please note:   Vickery Creek has a lot of elevation change, which would make it too challenging for novices.  If you can handle hills, roots and rocks at a constant moderate (NOT leisurely) pace, come along!   

We will start on time (6 pm)! 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 10 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:

Recommended Items to Bring:

Hiking poles if you like to use them.  (Remember, there are elevation changes, roots and rocks so poles can be helpful.)

Insect repellant

Roswell Mill is where Hwy 9 (S. Atlanta St) and Hwy 120 (Marietta Hwy) intersect. When you turn in to the shopping center (from either direction or from Hwy 120)) you will be on Mill St.  Stay on Mill Street (it winds around), all the way down to the bottom of the hill.
