Note: This is an "EXPLORATORY" trip. This means that there are parts of this trip, or perhaps the whole trip, that is new to your Trip Leader(s). However, they are confident that this will not be an issue.
This note is here so that you can make an informed decision. When a Trip Leader isn't personally familiar with a trip, there is an increased chance of things not going as planned and you need to be prepared. The Trip Leader may have additional details in the itinerary.

Itinerary:

Beautiful park in NE Gwinnett - It's an expansive park, the trails are well-maintained.  I'm designating the event as exploratory because I have never been there but I have heard that it's beautiful and trails well marked.  We may be sharing some of the trails with horses and they have the right of way.

We'll meet just beyond the parking lot off of Fence Road - - near the bathrooms.  

We'll move at a moderate pace, with stops along the way for water, a snack, and photos. We will try to cover a large portion of the trail system -  between 8 and 9 miles, in 3.5 hours.  There is such a wide variety of things to see here, including forested trails, equestrian trails, overlooks and a huge, gorgeous lake.  

Bring a snack or light lunch with you.  We will find a nice place to stop and rest for fifteen minutes or so somewhere in the middle of our hike.  Brring plenty of water.  


Required Items to Bring:

Good hiking shoes, water, snacks/light lunch
