BEGINNERS LEVEL AND NEW MEMBERS WELCOME! This is a great hike around the lake at
Murphey Candler Park in the Dunwoody area. The temp. will be in mid
70sF. The nature trail is a 1.8 mi. loop around the lake with very little
elevation change. The trail is wooded on the North and West sides and
more open on the East and along the Southern levee (E. Nancy Creek
Rd.). The nature trail will take us over a wooden foot bridge and over a few
sections of uneven ground. The
lake is home to Canadian geese, mallards, turtles, egrets, beavers and the
common chipmunks and squirrels. Murphey Chandlre park is a 135-acre
park owned and operated by Dekalb County Parks and Recreation. It has
athletic fields, children's palyground, a lake with fishing area, swimming
pool, hiking trail and picnic facilities. The park is located inside the perimeter, just South of Perimeter Mall, between Ashford-Dunwoody and Chamblee- Dunwoody roads. Murphey Chandler Park nature trail http://www.georgiatrails.com/gt/Murphy_Candler_Park_Nature_Trai
