Itinerary:

PHOTO-Great Blue Heron (surfing)-Jones Bridge Park courtesy of AOC hiker Norm Melton  (thanks Norm)

Please join me in hiking Jones Bridge, one of the Chattahooche River National Recreation Area parks.  We will start at the parking lot and head towards the trail heading south along the river, then turn away from the river and hike into the forest.  There are some mild climbs but nothing too strenous.   

Our hike will be approximately 5 miles in length and we will be back to the parking lot by 7:15.   The pace will be a moderate 2 1/2 miles per hour.

 It is starting to get dark earlier - a headlight or flashlight is recommended.

Restrooms are available at this location

Please arrive early in order to purchase your parking pass, if needed, and use of restroom.  We will leave the parking lot prompty at 5:15

There is a $3.00 parking fee - please see the Kiosk at the end of the parking lot - or if you have an annual pass even better.  Annual passes can be purchased at CRNRA headquarters at Island Ford Park or online.  https://www.nps.gov/chat/planyourvisit/fees.htm

Please leave all valuables at home - there have been instances of vandalism to cars!!!
