Itinerary:

Join us for an early Sunday morning Christmas snowless hike in the winding forest footpaths along the Chattahoochee River.

The Jones Bridge hike is a cool place to get away from the city to enjoy nature without having to drive for several hours to the mountains. It's quite common to observe deer and other wildlife on the trail and river.

This is a nice easy/moderate loop hike (5-6 miles) that is mostly flat with a few gentle climbs.

We'll meet in the parking lot at the very end of the entrance road. Restrooms are available.

There is a park parking fee, so be prepared to pay $3 if you don't have a parking pass.

Required Items to Bring:

-water
-Snack bar
-Appropriate clothing for weather
-Walking shoes or boots (Running shoes will work too!)

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

How to Get There:

Event Directions:

From GA 400, take exit 7a, and head East 4.1 miles through the intersection of Holcomb Bridge and Nesbitt Ferry Road to the junction of Barnwell Road. Turn left on Barnwell Rd, and travel approx 2 miles to Jones Bridge Branch which will be on the right. Turn in and go a little over 1/2 mile to large parking lot at end of road.
