Itinerary:
Much of our hike will be along the river, with some nice views and certainly some waterfowl sightings... and a good bit of it will be in the nearby woods where we will probably see some deer (and numerous squirrels). The majority of the trail is in the shade which will cut down on the summer heat considerably.

This park offers D2 terrain, but we will be hiking at a fairly quick pace to be sure we finish before dark...I am listing this as a D3 event only for that reason. However, there is very little elevation change along the trail...not much more than 500 feet for the entire hike. Total distance should end up being between 5 and 6 miles.

There is a $3 parking fee at the trailhead unless you have a Chatt park annual pass.
