Come walk with me along the Chattahoochee River. We will also set off across the boardwalk (swamp), up the hill, past creeks, and into the forest. It's a beautiful and peaceful walk. I've seen wildlife including deer, snakes, and owls while walking in this area.

There is a restroom on both ends of the hike.
