Itinerary:

Welcome to a winter version of TGIF! We will start our walk at Medlock Park and will head to Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve. This is a 28 acre wildlife sanctuary hidden in the corner of Medlock Park neighborhood in Decatur. Located in a floodplain, the park contains wetlands, mature trees and other diverse habitats which attract wildlife, including beavers, foxes, and many species of birds.

The preserve contains several easy trails with almost no elevation gain. This will be an easy stroll with no worries about getting dark on our way back to Medlock Park. We will cover around 4 miles in total. It should take less than two hours.

The trails traverse wetlands, and we may have to walk through a few muddy areas. Therefore, please wear footwear appropriate for such circumstances.

We will meet at the ball park of Medlock Park:

874 Gaylemont Cir, North Decatur, GA 30033

Required Items to Bring:

Appropriate clothing for weather
