Itinerary:

The weather this week looks miserable . . . until Friday!  Let's celebrate the sun with a morning rain-free hike at Vickery Creek!

The Vickery Creek section of the Chattahooche National Recreation Area contains many miles of interconnected hiking trails. Our plan is to hike about five miles miles of these trails which include some sections of rocks and roots as well as some easy-to-maneuver sections.

This will be a moderately  fast hike.  so it is not a hike for beginners or for folks who can't handle a 3+ mph pace on hilly, often rocky terrain.  If you're new to the AOC or haven't done any D3's, I may call you to check on your ability to handle the hike.  I won't leave anyone behind, so we will have to slow down the pace if someone can't keep up. 

We are starting and parking on Oxbo Road.  The lot is ON Oxbo Rd.  Parking is free at this location.


Required Items to Bring:

Shoes you can hike in
Water 
Clothing appropriate for weather conditions

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

Insect repellant
